[1/11] Topic of the Week Thread #7: Ansu Fati Player Profile. #AnsuFati #Barca
[2/11] Fati has had an amazing start to his career so far. With 40 apps for #Barca and #Spain, he has 12 goals & 3 assists. He's only 17 🤯. He's also broken several "Youngest" records for Barca, La Liga, UCL & Spain 🔥🔥🔥.
[3/11] In his break-out season under Valverde & Setien, Fati made a good impression, with crucial goals. He established himself well at Left Wing, stepping in to fill the hole than Neymar left when he moved to PSG.
[4/11] POSITIONING: My favourite attribute about Ansu Fati is his intelligent positioning. At just 17, he already has the instinct of a Winger.
📽️1⃣: Understands how a LW & LB should combine
📽️2⃣: Creates space for a LB overlap run
📽️3⃣: Manoeuvres himself into pole position
[5/11] PACE: Fati can comfortably skip away from his defender in wide areas. His body is still growing, so he can actually get faster! This is an important attribute for a winger.
📽️1⃣: Leaves Aidoo in the dust, draws the foul
📽️2⃣: Runs between & past defenders, no support
[6/11] SKILL: Fati is so composed on the ball. He won't hesitate to dance past the opposition to create space or passing lanes. Amazing confidence for a youngster!
📽️1⃣: Dances past Aidoo & passes
📽️2⃣: Nice little shift of the ball
📽️3⃣: Runs out of space, holds on to the ball
[7/11] PASSING: Fati's composure also helps him to pick out the right pass. He doesn't panic. He waits and keeps his eyes open until a passing lane opens up.
📽️1⃣: Almosts connects with Messi
📽️2⃣: Doesn't shoot into the bodies, leaves it for Messi
[8/11] SHOOTING: Fati's shooting has been incredible so far. He always makes the right choice (power, placement, timing) & leaves the keeper with no chance.
📽️1⃣: Top of the net!
📽️2⃣: Bottom corner!
📽️3⃣: Touch and a poke!
[9/11] CONCLUSIONS: Fati
1⃣ Is heir apparent to Neymar at Barca
2⃣ Needs more muscle/strength to stay fit
3⃣ Needs more playing time
4⃣ Shouldn't always be relied on when we are losing
5⃣ Can play #9. Koeman should try this
6⃣ Emperor Bartomeu, please don't swap Fati for Cavani
