Barcelona, Spain – Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has shed light on Ansu Fati’s recent absence from the squad, revealing open and honest communication between the two.
Flick emphasized that their discussions are ongoing, acknowledging that progress isn’t instantaneous.
“I spoke to Ansu Fati quite frankly,” Flick stated. “It’s not that you speak to the coach and then everything changes the next day.”
This suggests a process of continuous feedback and development.
Despite Fati’s recent omission from the matchday squad, Flick expressed a positive outlook on the young forward’s progress. “But he’s on the right track,” he affirmed.
“I’ve seen a lot of moments where he’s at his best. And that’s a level we’re trying to reach again.” Flick’s comments indicate that he sees potential and is working with Fati to rediscover his top form.
Flick clarified the reason for Fati’s recent absence, explaining, “Ansu Fati is out due to technical decision tonight. I’ve talked to him honestly. He’s working and he’s getting closer to the team.”
This confirms that the decision was based on performance and not disciplinary issues.
Flick’s words suggest that Fati is putting in the effort and is nearing a return to the squad, provided he maintains his current trajectory of improvement.
The coach’s frank but supportive assessment suggests a commitment to helping Fati reach his full potential at Barcelona.
