The player, who was destined to be the successor of Leo Messi on the right wing, has seen many challenges in his career lately. A talented winger by trait, Ansu Fati's career has been on the toil due to constant injuries during the last few seasons. Moreover, an unsuccessful loan to Brighton has forced the youngster to start from the basics to get a spot in the Barcelona lineup. However, as Ansu Fati has shown signs of improvement under the new manager, Hansi Flick, Barca still hopes that they might get their forgotten winger back.
On that note, here are three things that could prove beneficial for the winger's career and why Ansu Fati will thrive under the German tactician Hansi Flick:
Personalized fitness plan
One of the key reasons that has hampered Ansu Fati's success in his club career has been being injury-prone most of the time. During the 2021/22 season, which everyone had expected to be Fati's breakout season for FC Barcelona, Ansu missed 38 games, which destroyed the belief of fans in him.
Moreover, missing 14 games due to injury during his loan spell has surely been a major task for Fati. However, Hansi Flick's arrival seems to help Fati's cause, as the German manager has been monitoring him personally since the first training session.
Being pleasantly surprised by the youngster's dedication to succeed at Barcelona, Flick's technical staff has designed a special plan for Ansu Fati to improve his physical performance. Not only that, Fati's plan regulation is being monitored, as he was seen following a different routine than his teammates during the warm-up and stretching exercises today.
A fresh start under a new manager
Another reason that has had a crucial impact on Ansu Fati's Barcelona career is his early fame. During early 2020, the youngster showed brilliance that was considered too much for a 16-year-old. Though his peak performances got him much stardom at the Catalan club at such a young age, it didn't help Ansu Fati in the long run.
Due to the expectations he aroused in the hearts of Culers, a single devastating 2021/22 season was enough for his career to go downhill. Moreover, though he returned, showing decent performances in the next season, he was soon loaned out to Brighton, which didn't help his cause either.
Under a new manager in the form of Hansi Flick, Fati possesses a brilliant opportunity to start from a fresh slate and impress the German mastermind to earn a place in the lineup. With Ansu Fati's recent showcase in the training sessions, Flick has got the idea of how to manage the player to get the best out of him, which would prove key for Fati's future at Barca.
Inspiration from upcoming talents
Being a La Masia prodigy, Ansu Fati's quick fame at such a young age was a distinctive achievement. However, he could not sustain it for a long time. Meanwhile, stars like Lamine Yamal, who have just started booming in their careers, might also get a clear idea of what mistakes you shouldn't make in your career with guidance from Fati.
On the other hand, being a teammate for Spain as well as FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati can take inspiration from new stars like Lamine Yamal to set the stage again. Though it might not seem to be of much significance, a better peer group surely helps an individual succeed.
As Fati's career aim has been to succeed at Barca, youngsters like Yamal can push him to his limits for a place in the squad, bringing the best out of him.
