The situation
Ansu Fati trains alone to reach the level of his teammates and compete in the National Team as soon as possible. The Barca player entered the list of 26 by a hair’s breadth, after ousting ‘Panda’ Iglesias at the last minute . Luis Enrique decided on Ansu because he has faith in him. But he won’t play him until he responds to the level of demand from the team, which is very high. Proof that the Asturian coach has raised the bar is that no footballer with the slightest problem started against Costa Rica, which is why Morata, who had missed training due to a cold, was left out of the ‘eleven’ . Ansu Fati did not play because he still does not have the competitive level of others. But little by little he is getting closer to what is required. That is why he is seen in the training field at times when his teammates are on vacation, in the playground or in their rooms. There are images of Ansu Fati training alone, but they have not been seen because the Federation has not given the go-ahead for him. In any case, it is a proven fact that Ansu Fati has trained on his account at least three times in the last week.
The details
The young striker, who went through an ordeal due to the four knee operations he had to undergo and which left him in the dry dock for more than a year , is gradually taking shape. The proof is that in Amman he not only completed the game, but also played well and showed that he maintains the speed that led him to stand out in the National Team and in Barcelona. For Luis Enrique, who opted for him by bringing him to the World Cup instead of Borja Iglesias, Ansu Fati’s participation is vital and, the moment he sees him at the level of the others, he will put him in the team . Tomorrow he will prove it in the tactical training of the previous one against Germany.
