Ansu Fati has suffered from a lack of playing minutes under Hansi Flick this season. Apart from some minutes in the Copa del Rey, the 22-year-old has not been given a chance by the German manager.
When asked about the situation, Flick had a really direct answer. Flick: “Ansu Fati? I know the situation. Each player has to give his 100% every day, every week, to give and show us, the coaches and everyone else, that they deserve to play. That’s the job the players have to do. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
Should Ansu Fati leave?
Ansu Fati has been trying to revive his career at Barca for quite some time now. The Spanish forward despite all advise from agent and club has refused to move away from Barca. Ansu’s dream is to succeed at Barcelona, and he aims to stay at least till the end of the season.
Is Flick too harsh on Ansu?
Hansi Flick has not had too many moments this season where he can give a bench player a chance and take the risk. Most of the matches throughout the season have been of immense importance and must-win situations. However, I do think Flick could bring in Ansu in games where Barca has established a comfortable lead. An example is the game against Valencia, where points were not at stake after Barca went 3 goals up.
