• Soccer: Ansu Fati conquers nothing

Ansu Fati has been the player who has raised the most expectations throughout this unusual season. To such an extent that Manchester United would have put 150 million euros on the Barça table to take it away, according to the English newspaper ' The Times '. The Barça entity, of course, does not even propose the sale, but the amount begins to dangerously touch the 170 that currently appear in its cancellation clause. An amount that will become 400 million euros as soon as he signs his first professional contract.

For now, the young 'crack' player from Barcelona is Barça's fifth scorer so far this season, with a total of six goals. Five of them have marked them in the League. The last one, against Leganés . The one missing for the half dozen, meanwhile, he scored against Inter Milan, at San Siro, in the Champions League . In fact, between him and the now Romanist Carles Pérez they condemned the ' neroazzurro ' team not only to defeat, but also to having to try their best in the Europa League.

"We are very happy for Ansu. He is doing an impressive job. He has to have patience and continue as before," Ivan Rakitic praised him after the match against Leganés, speaking to Movistar LaLiga . "With Antoine, it is similar. He scored a goal and they annulled it, but it is very important for us and in the next matches everything will be better for sure," added the Croatian to give a vote of confidence to a Griezmann who did not have precisely his night at the Camp Nou.

"The most important thing is to keep winning. We have only been a short time and we need more rhythm. We have added six of six and, surely, each game will go much better," Rakitic explained after a duel that was especially difficult for the Catalans. "All the teams played a lot, it is normal, both above and below. It was difficult to find spaces, but we had patience, which is also necessary, Ansu's goal came and everything was easier, " he added.

In his opinion, he has to resign himself to playing every three days, with multiple changes, both between games and within the same game. "It is what there is. For all the teams, it is difficult to say that we are 100%, but it is normal, after two and a half months locked up at home. The squad is strong and we are going to demonstrate it game after game," insisted one Rakitic. that on Friday he will visit one of his former teams: Sevilla.

"There is little rest and we will take advantage of it in the best possible way. We all look forward to football . A great game awaits us in Pizjuán and we will go there very prepared and motivated." Whoever will miss that game will be a Samuel Umtiti who saw the fifth yellow card of the cycle against Leganés and will not be able to play against Seville due to a penalty.

Barça coach Quique Setién , meanwhile, also wanted words of praise for Ansu Fati. "We have opted for him because he had already been through a few training sessions in which he saw very well and has overcome some discomfort that he dragged for a few weeks. I think he has done a great job, and not only because of the goal, both in attack as in defense. He lacks a little consistency , due to the problems he has had, but the time he has played has been very good and we have not wanted to put him at risk. We must ensure that these inconveniences do not go further and take care of him ", he pointed out.

Riqui Puig , who also had a few minutes, in turn received several compliments from the Barça coach. "I have seen him very well, he has come out with a lot of energy and has done an extraordinary job. He has tried to give everything and demonstrate the quality he has. What he has to do is take advantage of the minutes he has, I highly value the work he has done, the presence he has had and it is a shame he could not score, "he explained of the midfielder.

Less brilliant was, while, Antoine Griezmann . Setien, however, tried to give him a vote of confidence. "All the players who play inside, like him and the insiders, find it difficult to find the teammates who have to filter the passes. They move, but the rival also. It is true that there have been few occasions when they have been able to find them. Perhaps, when we are better with the ball, or with rivals who do not lock up as much, we can do it more times. I am very happy with the work they do in attack, with which they seek to drag rivals and create spaces, and the one they do in defense, with the activation after loss. For me, it is very important ", settled.
