Las Luis Enrique’s calls They give for many details. The way in which he addresses the press, his specific words, winks and gestures… And also the chosen photos. This is what happened with the long-awaited list of 26 players for the World Cup in Qatar.
Among the eight forwards is Ansu Fati. It is one of the great surprises of the list, since his form is not the best possible, and in fact it was one of the great doubts that the coach had until the night before. This is what he himself confessed at the subsequent press conference.
For this reason, the photo used of Ansu Fati for the official images of the list is not of the Barcelona striker… or not at all. Those responsible for communication of the Spanish Federation they did not have a photo of the blaugrana striker with the current kit, since in their last call they still wore the previous one. Therefore, they had to shoot photo montage.
Due to Ansu’s physiognomy and, specifically, his skin colour, the choice of the body to place his head on was that of Nico Williams, although the corpulence of the Athletic footballer is much more remarkable than that of the culé. The result: between Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo an Ansu Fati appears with much broader shoulders and much more muscular arms than he really is.
A detail that the networks have not missed and that is nothing more than an anecdote that, however, speaks of the extent to which Luis Enrique and his coaching staff were waiting to know the physical state of one of his fetish players.
