“It's one of my qualities, continued Hamed Junior Traoré. We try all the time to improve, we are never perfect. Learning several positions at the same time, it can be a good, but it can also harm you. You can't do everything 100%, so I can still progress on a lot of things ”, concluded the OM offensive midfielder.
