While waiting for his debut with the Gaviota club, the Spanish-Bisauguin attacker was already running into a major problem that would jeopardize his leading role under the command of Roberto de Zerbi.
Not more than a week has passed since the attacker Ansu Fati He signed for Brighton & Hove Albion and the player already had his first problem. Although he has not yet had the opportunity to appear in the Seagull squad, as there are no games this weekend due to the national team break, his playing minutes in the sporting arena would be at risk.
One of the reasons why Ansu Fati decided to leave FC Barcelona, it was just about having a starting role again. He also didn’t want to listen to Tottenham Hotspur’s offers because they didn’t guarantee him a place in the starting line-up. However, De Zerbi convinced him to go to Brighton But to the player’s surprise, he encounters a huge obstacle that prevents him from reaching the starting grid.
Ansu Fati’s obstacle in Brighton has its own name
The African player’s natural position is left winger, where he showed excellent performance in the Barça team. It is the same area that the Italian coach hired him for. But in this area there is already a player who is very important at the moment and it will be very difficult to take his place.
His name is Kaoru Mitoma and he is by far the best dribbler in the Seagulls team. In fact, this outstanding trait makes him one of the top three footballers in the Premier League. This season he played all starting games and last season he played almost 2,910 minutes spread over 41 games in which he scored 10 goals and 8 assists.
Ansu Fati’s other supporting positions are also represented in Brighton
Given the Spanish-Bisauguine striker’s versatility, left winger is not the only position he knows how to play. At FC Barcelona he played as a midfielder, on the attacking right side and even as a second center forward. One would think that if he fills these positions he has a chance in the England squad. But the truth is that there are good players there too.
On the right wing is Solly March, a player who has also shown that he is quick with the ball at his feet, running diagonally inwards and finishing with his powerful left foot. And finally, Roberto de Zerbi has Joao Pedro and Julio Enciso in midfield, two young footballers with outstanding talent. So it’s not that easy for Ansu Fati to secure a starting place in any of these positions.
