Deco: "Trincao has all the tools to be a success at Barcelona"

Deco has spoken to FC Barcelona about the arrival of another Portuguese star, Francisco Trincao, at the Camp Nou this summer.

“Trincão has it all to be a success at Barça," insists Deco. “He is a quality player with a great future ahead. He’s a classic left-footed player that makes runs from the wings into the area. When he gets into the middle, he makes shooting look easy. He’s good in the one-on-one and has a fine shot. He’s a footballer who I personally like a lot.”

Deco is also confident that Trincao won't need much time in order to adapt to his new surroundings. “Players that come to Barça are usually expected to produce immediate results, but that’s not always easy for a player as young as he is. If he gets playing time, then he will end up doing very well indeed.”

RIQUI PUIG AND ANSU FATI

The former Barça man also gave his thoughts on two emerging La Masia talents in Riqui Puig and Ansu Fati. "They are the kind of players that appear at Barça, where they do such a good job with their academy. They are two players with a strong head on them who are ready to develop and learn. If they stay humble and are hungry to win everything, then they could both be huge success stories at Barça.”
