Ansu Fati fails to return to his best level.
Little established by coach Xavi, Ansu Fati is starting to get annoyed. Replaced at the end of the match against Cadiz (2-0) on Friday, the FC Barcelona winger came out frustrated. He who fails to find his best level.
Xavi’s small turnover did not benefit everyone. While Eric Garcia, Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres showed their advantage, Ansu Fati couldn’t let go.
The FC Barcelona winger managed a few nice dribbles and sequences. But his waste at the finish prevented him from feeding his statistics (6 goals and 3 assists in all competitions this season).
Fati angry at his exit
Another frustrating match for Fati who did not hide his feelings when he left in the 86th minute. The Spaniard even assumed his reaction during an event for a charity.
«Yesterday I walked out pissed off because sometimes I think I don’t give back enough to the people who support me so much“, Explained the 20-year-old Blaugrana, whom Xavi tried to reassure after the meeting. “The brain of the attackers is complicated, reacted the coach of Barça. They judge themselves on goals and assists, but we look at other things: the pressing, his participation, his availability… He ended up with cramps. He scored goals all his life, it will come back.»
The Spaniard demands rhythm
Fati, however, has reason to wonder. Since his meniscus fracture in November 2020, the Barça prodigy no longer has the same elimination capacity, nor the same accuracy near the opposing surface. It is apparently not a physical problem according to those around him. According to Sport, the player’s clan assures that the winger only needs to play. But at the moment, the Spain international feels like he has to prove himself with little playing time.
It is true that Xavi prefers Ousmane Dembélé, Rafinha and Gavi on the sides, not to mention the axis monopolized by Robert Lewandowski. Fati can still see that Barca fully trust him. The Catalan club, which had given him the number 10 after the departure of Lionel Messi, refuse to hear about his departure despite interest from Manchester United. Moreover, the product of La Masia has no intention of leaving and intends to justify the quickly announced promises.
