The ice has already been broken. Ansu Fati debuted in the premier league in the overwhelming victory of Brighton in front of him Manchester United In Old Trafford (1-3). He made it in the 64th minute and came on as a substitute Adam Lallanalocated behind it Danny Welbeck, the reference in the attack. He left good feelings, he was participatory and Andre Onana prevented him from putting the icing on the cake with a save that prevented the fourth round Roberto De Zerbi.
Ansu was able to prove that it is complicated to be the undisputed owner here Brighton so attractive, and the competition in front of us is really tough. However, the multitude of games that the island team has to play – including the Europa League – means that there are a few minutes Ansu who can find a permanent place in the team due to his talent and versatility.
In front of him United He played inside, behind the striker, and all indications are that he will play that role for most of the season. Even though he left Old Trafford Without the goal reward, he left good feelings and showed how easily he sees through the game and creates danger even without touching the ball. He was one of those who moved best, used space and shot good balls. In the work of both Joao Pedrothe final Brightonwas born when he uncontrollably pulled a defender out of the field at the far post United and created the necessary space for the Brazilian to shoot.
DANGEROUS INSIDE
Exactly the former WatfordEdit He will be his main competition in midfield behind the striker. The Seagulls’ most expensive new signing this summer has landed on its feet in the plan From Zerbi and he has already scored two goals in five games. Also Adam Lallanaan experienced footballer who played 270 duels during the season premier, will be important this year. We must not forget Julio Enciso. The Paraguayan, who was seriously injured at the end of August, played 30 games last season in which he scored seven goals and provided four assists. Unfortunately for From Zerbihis return will not come for three or four months.
THE LEFT EXTREME, UNTOUCHABLE
In his natural position, left winger, he is very expensive to play. Kaoru Mitoma, one of the team’s big stars and sensation of the tournament, is master and lord in this field. Abundance, one-on-one and a lot of intelligence guarantee the undeniable status of the Japanese.
In return the Brighton was reinforced in the summer Simon Adingraa 21-year-old Ivorian attacker who, however, plays on the left wing From Zerbi He also uses it on the right to distribute minutes Solly Marchwhere the buttons are on the far right.
FALSE NINE?
Finally, the target of attack has a first and last name: Evan Ferguson. The 18-year-old Irishman started this season like lightning and only an injury could stop him. After a hat trick against Newcastle On matchday 4 he suffered from knee pain. Ansu I could easily play a “false 9” role considering what it requires From Zerbi For reference on the attack, this is a low-numbers scenario.
Danny Welbeck He is the reserve striker who started against the USA and served as the first goalscorer Manchester UnitedAnd From Zerbiwhich gave both of them minutes Joao Pedro How AnsuHe gave hints about the intentions he had with the Spaniards. When he replaced the Englishman, he chose to place the Brazilian at the forefront of the attack in order to place the player on loan from Barça in midfield.
The big question will be his adaptation to the hardness of the Premier League, as well as that his physical condition allows him to exploit his range of offensive resources, of which there are quite a few. Watch him form forward Mitomes, march And Evan Ferguson It’s a stimulating scenario to say the least. Will it happen next Thursday, in the “Seagulls” debut in the Europa League against AEK Athens?
