Does Ansu Fati deserve the same patience and faith that Barça had with Dembélé?

The situation of Ansu Fati in the FC Barcelona is quite complex of face to the 2023/24. The '10' has options to go out and so much the directive like the technical body give the 'ok' to his course, but the forward insists in remaining and struggle for recovering the titularity. After two years in which practically it did not play by fault of the injuries, Xavi Hernández carried him with a lot of caution in the first stretch of the season, giving him shooting progressively to avoid relapses.

However, the one of Bissau was playing every time less after the World-wide and, although it closed the season with 51 official apparitions, hardly played 1.827 delivered in all the competitions. Now, the canterano seems sentenced and his case well can compare with the one of Ousmane Dembélé. The physical problems mermaron the performance of the Frenchman in his first four seasons in the club and recently in the first semester of 2022, when had options to go out to 'cost zero', improved notably his performance, already with the egarense in the bench.

Dembélé Had his 'redemption'. Ansu, probably no

It is thus that arises the debate: it deserves Ansu the faith and the patience that had the club with Dembélé? The answer seems to have it Xavi, as it has been he the manager of the resurgir of the 'mosquito'. The directive even posed separate him of the staff by his continuous desplantes to the hour to negotiate, but the trainer intercedió to keep him in the team and, today, his renewal luce imminent.

"Of Dembélé would stand out you that it is a person that all the field is whistling it and goes out to play half hour and changes it by applauses, is to have a personality that there is very few. Another had said 'míster' do not play more, look for me an exit and, instead, Dembélé said me want to play, want to triumph in the Barça and do not go me to go to any side", explained Xavi on the one of Vernon in a talk with Jorge Valdano. Instead, the míster is much more parco when referring to Ansu.

Xavi seems to have taken already a decision on Ansu

"It is necessary to expect to know which will be the stage. It is a footballer that likes me and has helped us a lot. It is evident that goes out of a very difficult situation by fault of the injuries, but has to have a continuity and no can it to him guarantee. This is the Barça. No a NGO", said the egarense in an interview with 'Sportive World'. In this sense, the one of Bissau seems to have lost a lot of terrain in the 2022/23 to convince to the míster of his continuity.

And it is that, unlike Dembélé, Ansu has not showed the 'hunger' competitive and the discipline that expected Xavi. The '10' lost the pulse with Raphinha by the titularity from the beginning of the season, when the technical body prioritised to regulate his minutes to warn a new injury. After the World-wide, his situation did not improve and the explosive statements of his father finish breaking the relation between the technician and the player. The international Spanish always wanted to play more, but could not recover the confidence neither the continuity. Neither it knew how do it.

The directive knows how much can win with the exit of Ansu

When referring to the future of the player of 20 years, Joan Laporta left clear the past month that, although it treats of a valuable player for the club, at all was defined of face to the summer. "We have he, is player of the Barça and want it with us. It is a footballer of quality and integrated in the team. He wants to triumph in the Barça. The technical direction will have to decide which raisin with him. We will see how it goes", it said the mandator on his case.

In principle, Jorge Mendes promised to the club close the sale of Ansu Fati by 70 million euros, a figure very apetecible for a Barça that needs to do box and go down mass salarial what before. However, the one of Bissau does not have intentions to go out and, further of the interest of teams like the Tottenham or the Manchester United, his plan aims to struggle for recovering the titularity. The "no" of Leo Messi could finish being a good news for the extreme, as long as Xavi recover the confidence in him. Of the contrary, to the canterano will not remain him more remedy that test luck in another club.
