BARCELONA – Trainer Barcelona, Ronald Koeman, rested Ansu Fati for a moment when his team faced Juventus on the second matchday of Group G of the 2020-2021 Champions League on Thursday, October 29, 2020. Koeman’s decision to save Fati in an important match ultimately made many people wonder.
Because Fati is currently in his best performance. It is clear that Fati’s ability is needed by Barcelona to win from a team as big as Juventus. Fortunately, Barcelona still came out as winners after crushing the home team with a score of 2-0.
Fati, who had just been deployed in the 66th minute, could only help give Barcelona a penalty because he was fouled when the game entered the 90th minute. Even though he only played for 24 minutes, Fati’s entry made Barcelona’s game much better.
This is what makes many parties wonder why Fati who is playing well is being reserved. It turned out that according to Koeman’s report, Fati was being punished at that time.
Koeman precisely punished Fati because he felt that the 17-year-old player lacked concentration while on the field. Because it is easy to lose concentration, Fati’s game is considered unable to maximize.
Koeman sees Fati often loses the ball because he can’t keep his concentration well in the middle of the match. So, he rested Fati because he wanted to make his young players able to construct well.
So, Koeman does not mean that he doubts Fati’s ability to be reserved. He did it all in order to make the Spanish player become a much better footballer.
“I would advise him to continue to work and develop. Yesterday (at Juventus vs Barcelona) I spoke with him about increasing his concentration. Losing the ball was caused by a lack of concentration, not quality, ”said Koeman, as adapted from Marca, Saturday (31/10/2020).
“Of course he has talent, he is a very good player. He has potential and we have to help him develop. He has to concentrate on improving, “added Koeman.
Furthermore, Koeman will again rely on Fati on the front lines of Barcelona. He hopes Fati can help Barcelona win from Alaves in the 2020-2021 Spanish League continued match, which will take place on Sunday 1 November 2020 early morning WIB.
