On August 23rd, the As Newspaper focused on Barcelona’s attacking line, stating that head coach Hansi Flick will continue to trust Ansu Fati. In the new season, Fati will serve as a backup to Lewandowski.
Hansi Flick does not wish for Fati to leave the team but instead has always been full of confidence in him. Flick insists that if Fati trains and plays hard, builds his self-confidence, he can become a high-level player. During the first training session before the pre-season games, Flick worked with his technical staff and fitness coaches to arrange systematic training for Fati, to help him regain his form as soon as possible. However, Fati was then plagued by injuries, which prevented him from traveling to the United States with the team for the pre-season matches. When talking about Fati, Flick said, “He is performing very well in training, working hard to get back into shape, and he will prove this on the field.”
In Flick’s view, Fati will become a qualified substitute for Lewandowski: “He can provide sufficient rest time for Lewandowski, and we hope that Fati can get closer to goal-scoring positions to showcase his ability to score. Despite Barcelona not lacking forwards, we still need options at center-forward.”
Notably, Gavi also warmly refused to accept the number 10 jersey because he wanted to see Fati prove his abilities on the field.
