Ansu Fati closes his ‘Erasmus’ with Luis Enrique without playing a minute

Luis Enrique has already explained that he has “no doubt” about the level of the Barça player, but that he had to go “slowly and without haste” with him. Even with the loss of Raúl de Tomás, who has missed the last two games due to a respiratory infection, Ansu Fati has not played. The Spanish coach has taken advantage of this concentration to start integrating the footballer with a view to the next World Cup in Qatar, which will be held from mid-November to mid-December. The former Barça coach has already defined that the return of the Spanish-Guinean to a call-up with the Spanish national team should be read as “an award”.

The Spanish team does its homework

With Ansu Fati living his particular ‘Erasmus’ with Luis Enrique without playing a single minute, one of the most brilliant players is Gavi. The midfielder raised in La Masia has been a starter in three of the four matches that Spain has played and has scored a goal. Yesterday, against the Czech Republic, he came on in the 60th minute, once again proving his quality and participating in Spain’s second goal, in which Sarabia took advantage of a rejection after a shot by Ferran Torres. In the first half, the goal scorer had been Valencia midfielder in the orbit of Barça, Carlos Soler. With this victory, added to the defeat of Portugal against Switzerland (1-0), Spain leads with one point more than the Portuguese in their UEFA Nations League group.
