Zapping Our Mondial CAN 2021: The strengths and weaknesses of Cameroon as seen by Richard Naha for Onze Mondial
Barça had an eventful week! Eliminated in the round of 16 of the King’s Cup by Athletic Bilbao (3-2), the Catalans also lost Ansu Fati to injury. The young hope, recently returned from a glitch, experienced a relapse which might keep him away from the field until the end of the season if he decides to have surgery. In a press conference, Xavi Hernandez returned to this difficult decision to make: “On Monday, we will decide what to do with Ansu. He is very touched. Dr. Pruna told me that he had to play 30/35 minutes and the extension turned everything upside down. The player said he was ok to continue. I’m not a doctor when it comes to Ansu. What you need to do is get him back mentally, give him love and let it be known that we need him. On Monday we will decide what to do with Ansu. There will be a meeting with his family, the doctors and we will see what is best for him.”
“Dembele? The situation has not changed”
Subsequently, the case of Ousmane Dembélé, who recently broke his silence regarding the rumors surrounding his possible extension, was inevitably discussed. And once once more, Xavi Hernandez was very clear regarding him: “Dembélé? The situation has not changed. He knows the situation and he must decide. Nothing has changed. What worries us the most, these are the results. It takes longer than we thought and we have to be patient, believe in the idea that made Barca great and that we are trying to recover. But what worries us most now is is the results.” Supporters are fixed.
to summarize
Ansu Fati and his injury, the possible departure of Ousmane Dembélé, the transfer window, Xavi Hernandez addressed all the hot topics of the moment at the head of Barça. The Blaugrana face Deportivo Alaves tomorrow in the league.
