Ansu Fati, a striker once considered a prodigy and expected to replace Messi at Barcelona. Miramontes once praised him and said that Fati would be a worthy successor to Messi's number 10 shirt. But injury brought his career at Camp Nou to a dead end. He gradually lost confidence when he got another slight damage, and coach Xavi dropped him from the main squad. In particular, the appearance of Lamine Yamal forced Fati to sit on the bench. Brighton borrowed Ansu Fati until next summer's transfer window. This is an opportunity for him to once again prove his achievements.
Fati said in an interview that De Zerby was a key factor in his move from Barcelona to Brighton. I think that Fati himself understands the importance of playing practice, and perhaps if De Zerbi counts on him and sees a prospect in him, then he will give him playing time, this is very important for a football player. Let's see how Faty performs, I see that De Zerby likes to play with one striker and Ferguson is in good shape.
Last year, he played in 36 games for Barcelona and scored only 7 goals, causing him to be approached suspiciously. If De Zerbi believes in him, of course, the Premier League is an offer that cannot be refused for Ansu Fati. I don't know how many games he will play in the forward zone with Brighton, but if he shows his performance last year, it will not be a very good transfer for Brighton.
Yes that's right, and the impact of the injury was very disruptive to his performance on the field so that Fati could not fully display his best performance as usual. his career seemed to stagnate there especially followed by many competitors for him at Barcelona. I think this is indeed the best decision for him and Xavi also said this decision was none other than so that he could play full minutes without intense competition at Brighton and it was also for the good of Fati. Obviously I also don't think Fati would turn down an offer to play in the Premier League, and one of the reasons for his departure is because he really believes in De Zerbi.
As we know the Brighton manager has a lot of faith in him and I think it's true as you say, for then the key comes back to Fati himself. If Fati can give a good performance there by not showing his bad performance at all like last season, then I think it is very correct to say this is not a bad transfer for De Zerbi's squad. I don't think Fati will let his new manager down, it's a good opportunity for his sake.
