A good tune, a cup of coffee and a relaxed conversation between the parties. That was what a meeting between the father of Ansu Fati, mate alemany And Jordi Cruyff. The rest is literature. A grain of sand is made into a mountain of sand. And of course it will be used on the usual forums to speculate, scrutinize the future and accentuate a superficial debate about whether or not to sell a player who, for various reasons, does not have the playing time he would like . to have. . The truth is that there is no bad relationship, that the progression margin of the child is relied on, that the boy has to persevere, that the coach trusts other players more at the moment and that however many there are who blame the club wanting to give for the situation of the youth player and putting up the poster of the villain in the movie, the road with Ansu is clear. He needs to grit his teeth, break down the door, earn property and do what the best do: ask what they can do for the club, not what the club can do for them.
WhatWhat happens to Ansu Fati? Well, a situation that belongs to football and that is older than the game itself. He is a player of great potential, wracked with injuries, who has made a questionable decision (wasn’t surgery the best thing to do?) and whose performance falls several steps short of the huge expectations he raised. Ansu’s environment, designed by his father and super-agent Jorge Mendes, who was overjoyed when Barça rushed him the number ten shirt, now has his ears pricked up because Ansu doesn’t have the minutes he would like. The strictly sporting decision of Xavi, who is in better circumstances at the moment Lewandowski, Rapinha, Dembele, gavi And ferran.
A purely sporting context in which the club can only maneuver as it does. With tact and discretion. Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruijff have a lot of left hands. From doors out, show of support. Interior doors, peace and confidence. There are still three months before the season finale. That’s a world in football. Ansu is in the middle of one Sudoku that you need to know how to read and solve. He has the whole future ahead of him, his contract is up and he can still regain the lost ground. Another question, outside the club, will be whether Ansu gets tired of waiting, whether those around him become impatient and whether Mendes makes a juicy offer. Speaking in silver: if Ansu wants to leave Barça in the summer, all offers will be heard. There is not a euro left in the club, but that is the least. What’s more, if Ansu doesn’t want to continue at Barca in the future, no one will keep him. With three months to go before the course ends, someone who appreciates Ansu Fati should explain to him that football is not a hundred-meter sprint, but a marathon. And that it is very cold outside Barça.
