He is still not allowed to vote, he is prohibited from consuming high-alcohol alcohol, and until recently, he also needed his parents’ signature if a game was scheduled for the night. Understandable, because when the lights are on at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, bed rest is usually the order of the day for teenagers.
Ansu Fati looks younger, but he’s definitely not a normal 17-year-old boy. He does things with the ball that a normal mortal cannot do for his entire life. More recently, he showed it on Sunday night when the Spanish team beat Ukraine 4-0 in the Nations League in the 33rd minute. A slight twist, a quick movement and the goal celebration arrived: he had scored 3- 0 through the inner post. It wasn’t his first spectacular action that night: After just under two minutes, he triggered the free-kick penalty, which captain Sergio Ramos converted to 1-0, and an overhead shot missed the crowning. Swiss defenders Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodríguez should watch some videos before the Swiss guest appearance on October 10 in Madrid.
Even the national coach is surprised
Of course, this blow made Fati the youngest scorer in the history of the Red, with exactly 17 years and 311 days. Of course, because he is always the youngest everywhere: he was the youngest scorer at the Camp Nou, wearing a Barça suit, and also the youngest two-time Barcelona scorer. It is a list that could be extended almost indefinitely, it seems that there are maximum marks to be rewritten by him.
«I knew that Ansu Fati can do a lot. But that it is already so good also surprised me. “
The “Ansu Fati era” had dawned, the sports daily “Marca” expressed its euphoria this Monday, combined with the hope of being able to continue the global dominance of the last decade thanks to Fati. The newspaper duplicates in the legend: “Ansu Fati is pure magic”. In fact, the featured videos can already be easily edited from the best scenes of the young star: Fati combines dynamics, finesse and technology in a way rarely seen. Coach Luis Enrique explicitly praised one of his eight newcomers to the team: “I knew I could do a lot. But that it is already so good also surprised me. “
Fati’s career is very reminiscent of the career of a clubmate: Lionel Messi. Just as Rosario’s “Magic Flea” moved to the “La Masia” training center, so did Fati. At the age of 6, he and his mother came from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa; the father had previously worked in Portugal and Spain. At the age of 10, Anssumane Fati, as he is called by his full name, entered the talent factory of the Catalans through the Herrera and Sevilla stations. Undisputed fixed star of the Fanion team at that time: Lionel Messi.
From Messi to CR 7
And the world star had an influence on Fati’s development: Joint training sessions, lots of assists and better object lessons could hardly be found, says Fati: “I saw Lionel for years and learned a lot from him. It’s a dream to be able to be on the pitch with him. ”Among other things, the Argentine gave him assists on his two goals against Levante in 103 seconds.
Atmospheric disturbances now threaten between the two. A few weeks ago Fati rescinded the contract that linked him to Rodrigo Messi, Lionel’s brother. The new advisor is Jorge Mendes, among all, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, who recently “parked” numerous players from Portugal and Guinea-Bissau with the Grasshoppers.
Fati has played 33 games for Barcelona so far, scoring 8 goals. He made many appearances alongside Messi, who has now returned to training after many setbacks, but will probably actually leave Blaugrana a year after his contract expires. Will there be a power struggle between the old and the new designated superstar before that?
