Among the various gems that FC Barcelona has heralded across their decades of dominance, some have managed to stand out much more than others simply due to their abundance of talent and technical prowess.
The Catalan club has always been home to some of the best young talents in world football, a tradition it proudly carries on even today. The likes of Pedri, Gavi, and Alejandro Balde are just a few of the names most would consider to be within that elite category of youngsters.
Another that, arguably, used to be a name commonly associated within that same league of elites was that of Ansu Fati. The now 20-year-old Barcelona forward was once the face of the revolution that the Catalan club was inspiring to lead, but as time passed, Fati’s importance within the team declined.
Courtesy of various career-threatening and altering injuries, the La Masia product slowly lost both momentum and confidence as he became demoralized to the point where all seemed lost.
However, as the latest season has progressed in a way that allowed Ansu Fati to get controlled minutes, albeit not too many, the youngster is slowly and gradually finding his footing again.
As per a recent report by Spanish outlet SPORT, the player has been encouragingly showcasing his drive to excel at Barcelona once more by showing consistency and being an early bird for the pre-season training and tour, something Xavi Hernandez appreciates.
Moreover, the player continues to follow specific physical plans and puts in the work to ensure his long-standing battle with injuries is long behind him and he can turn over a new leaf starting from their pre-season tour in the United States of America.
Should he manage to properly reassert himself back within the starting dynamics of this Barcelona side, Xavi Hernandez and his sporting staff have no doubts regarding his quality as a footballer and a goal scorer. Moreover, they have also left behind the possible idea of selling the youngster, as they believe he’s deserving of that chance to excel.
