I think Xavi sounds selfish, if he really wanted Ansu Fati back, why did he still get so little playing time in the end? in other words Ansu Fati is playing at Brighton just to hone his skills and then Xavi will take it back. Isn't that selfish enough, I know it is their right because Ansu Fati contract at Barcelona is still long. I never stop thinking that Ansu Fati potential will not develop even if he returns, because he has to queue for a long time to get playing time. Waiting for the main squad to be injured and Ansu Fati remaining unchanged whether he goes to Brighton or not, he will remain a reserve player.

Xavi has a long -term plan with young players owned by Barcelona and there are many things that might not make sense according to us but the coach does not see it as from the egoism section. Just wait for the future developments and certainly Ansu Fati will be one of the players that Barcelona needs in the future and it depends on how he tries to improve its quality.

Xavi was never selfish and Xavi was what Barcelona needed truly in order to be able to start competing with other elites of Europe back, he was fine with unsettling the likes of all his old team mates like Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, so what matters or why should Ansu Fati get an easy let off, Ansu Fati has been projected to be face of the club, but he can't live up too the pressure with everyone not letting him breathe and him being out injured, so Xavi is gotta reintegrate Fati back into the squad but slowly without taking out the new players that have been working their asses all months long while Fati was struggling with injuries and match fitness, there is no automatic slot for any player and Ansu Fati shouldn't get any special treatment, but he's considered as the future face of the club, so he's also got to prove that he's willing to make certain uncomfortable sacrifices too.
