What an ill-fated fate! The former No. 10 successor to Messi, who finally recovered, is not trusted by the new coach

Before Yamal, Barcelona actually had many young talents who had the opportunity to succeed Messi. This is the result accumulated by La Masia's youth training camp in so many seasons, and it is also the consistent management style of Barcelona. Among them, Ansu Fati is not only hailed as a hope, but also once truly won Messi's No. 10 jersey, and is highly expected by the outside world. But everyone knows the story that followed. Due to frequent injuries and unstable form, Ansu Fati was quickly abandoned by Barcelona. Even if he was loaned to Brighton, he was still plagued by injuries and barely played in the past two seasons, which also disappointed the outside world.

Although Barcelona did not expel him quickly, Flick's attitude towards him was also very clear, which also led to Fati no longer insisting and joining Monaco in this summer transfer window. Originally, this was a good opportunity with low pressure to prove himself and fulfill his former talents, but Fati missed the team's preseason and training due to personal recovery.

At that time, many people were particularly unfavorable to him.

However, after the start of the new season, Fati slapped these people in the face. Not only did he score several goals, he also won the best of the month award, which gave people hope. However, after Monaco completed the change of coach, Fati gave up again. In the past four games, his condition declined very obviously and he did not score a goal. At the same time, the last two games have been slowly shelved by the new coach and he has been on the bench.

Fati also expressed his dissatisfaction through people around him, but he can only accept this situation temporarily. Because the new coach is recognized by Monaco's senior management, and his own recent performance is really difficult to call satisfactory.

Although Fati is only 22 years old, frequent injuries have really caused him to lose his confidence. Only by rediscovering himself in Monaco can he have the opportunity to continue playing in the five major leagues. What's more important is that his key player style of play must be guaranteed. Only in this way will his strength be activated. Whether the coach has enough recognition for him and whether he wants to give him this responsibility is a big question mark.

Although he had performed well before when he got the opportunity, according to the current overall development of Monaco, this is not the setting. Next, it depends on how he discusses it with the coach.

What’s interesting is that when asked about his question, Monaco’s new coach Poconioli said that as long as Fati stays healthy and plays 30 consecutive games, he will be the one to dominate the game. But the basic setting is that he can play 30 games without injury.
