Agencies
Spanish footballer Ansu Fati has expressed frustration over barely being used at Barcelona. Fati has started only five times for Xavi's Barcelona in the 2022-23 season. Currently, Xavi, the manager at Camp Nou, favours Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha over Fati.

However, Fati is determined to make his way into the Catalan club. He recently said he wanted to play, but he has to give his best to ensure that coach Xavi, who takes decisions on the playing eleven, adds him to the roster.

While answering the question about the difference between the coaching style of Xavi and La Roja manager Luis Enrique, Fati did not make any comparison between the two. He stated that each coach has their "way of seeing things." He said that everyone explains things differently, and Xavi and Luis Enrique are different. The footballer also stated that since Xavi is the manager of a club and Lusi Enrique is the coach of a national team, he weighs things differently. The 20-year-old footballer is a part of Spain's national football team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He was used as a substitute in Spain's encounter against Japan during the group stage.
