Barcelona, guided by coach Hansi Flick, is enjoying a successful season, leading the Spanish League table after nine matches with 24 points, three points clear of their traditional rival, Real Madrid. The team has demonstrated strong, cohesive performances that reflect Flick’s vision and effective strategies in elevating player performance and achieving positive results. The German coach aims to return Barcelona to its former glory.
In a recent interview with “Sport,” Lionel Messi praised the team’s progress under Flick, highlighting the notable improvements among players like Raphinha, Lewandowski, and the talented Lamine Yamal. Messi expressed his admiration for the positive changes taking place.
When asked about Barcelona’s plans to sell Ansu Fati next January, Messi firmly opposed the idea, emphasizing that the player should be given the opportunity to prove himself this season before any decisions about his future are made. He urged the coach and management not to entertain the notion of selling Fati, highlighting that if Fati regains his form, he will be a significant asset for the team.
Fati’s immense talent and ability to excel could greatly enhance Barcelona’s offensive strength, making him a crucial part of their future. It’s worth noting that Messi played alongside Fati during his time at Barcelona and is well aware of the young player’s skills, which have been hampered by injuries that have affected his career.
