Ansu Fati will play a key role in the second half of the season, according to Xavi. There is a great deal of anticipation among Barcelona fans regarding the young prodigy. He has set a lot of high expectations for himself since making his debut as a 16-year-old in 2019. After breaking records and showing the way for young players like Pedri and Gavi, Fati needs to shine even more. Barcelona fans should trust the process.
It will take time, patience, and perseverance from everyone in the Barcelona fanbase to assist him in making his way back to the team. Despite Ansu’s lack of brilliance in the World Cup, it was the right decision to not rush him back in the fall.
Role of Ansu Fati at Barcelona
With Robert Lewandowski’s arrival, Barcelona isn’t dependent on Fati’s productivity up front, and was successful without him.
However, Ansu Fati had a dreadful performance against Getafe. The suspensions of Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, as well as Memphis Depay leaving for Atletico Madrid, forced Ansu to fill in as a center forward. Unlike Ansu, who has the training necessary for playing in tight spaces, his first touch was pretty poor. While Lewandowski makes it look easy, it isn’t easy to be effective inside the box.
Ansu will never be a center forward, but he can learn to be a better false nine when needed. He may not be naturally good at other aspects of the position, like holding up the play, but he will get smarter the more he plays. Ansu deserves patience and help for his success, so it’s worth it to be patient with him.
Ansu Fati needs time. With the support of the club and his fans, Ansu will grow into a great player. Barcelona already secured their first trophy under Xavi due to La Masia’s brilliance on the field. Ansu Fati will also earn his spot in the team as Barcelona’s key player in the coming days for sure.
