Ansu Fati seemed to have options to play in the U17 World Cup. Everything indicates that he will not be in the international tournament, since the RFEF intends to go with the U21 to measure his level. And Robert Moreno, the Spanish National Team's coach, will be at Camp Nou next Wednesday for the game between Barca and Inter.
Ansu Fati is just a kid, yes, but he is a kid that is impressing a lot of people at Barcelona. He has broken all the records. He has broken records for Barcelona in the first team and also those of the Spanish National Team who have gone from taking him into account for the U17 World Cup to not ruling out a call-up for the senior National Team.
At only 16-years-old he has become a fundamental player in Barcelona's squad. So much so that Barca were afraid of losing him for a month if he finally went to the U17 World Cup to get the expected nationality.
Although he appears in the 50 pre-selected players by David Gordo, Under 17's coach, the idea is that he will not play in the international tournament. The RFEF has it in mind to give him an Under 21's start to see where he can take the team.
The Federation has high hopes for him, as does Robert Moreno. According to 'AS', the coach will be at Camp Nou next Wednesday for the game between Inter and Barca with the objective of being able to see the young star in action.
Ansu Fati brings a different style of play that can fit Spain's team. His one-on-one play can be very important in a team that dominates with possession.
The coach wants to be able to see his potential live in a high demand game to assess if he is capable of playing for the Senior National Team. Do not forget that in June there is also the Eurocup...
