Dependence? Barça is very different when Ansu Fati is not there

It was not a secret for anybody that the beginning of the era 'post-Messi' in the FC Barcelona went to be complicated, like a Russian mountain and that went to notice, in excess, the absence of the that had been the engine of a team by more than a decade. It was to expect , of some way, that the Barça went down considerably a level that already was low, cost the redundancy, because it had not arrived a goleador in conditions or a new 'leader' in the offensive to occupy the position -or figure- of the Argentinian.

This yes, expected that it opened a new 'window' for the Barcelona picture: to fault of star, collective game. The intention, in paper, is that the Barça left backwards the dependency in an only player and that began to assume chevrons in all the sectors of the field to take out the results. It has happened all the contrary and the team generates too much uncertainty, at least up to now. In the middle of the darkness, Ansu Fati has arisen like a light for the culés.

The canterano, with hardly 19 recently fulfilled years, has assumed the leadership of the team. And it is something that has his 'pros', but also his consequences. It is necessary to be conscious that it is a very young player to carry to the team to his shoulders and can be dangerous, although the good news is that it answers very very (better of the expected) to the pressure and that does not show, in no case, that was a problem for him be living this moment. It enjoys it, if it is necessary to highlight.

The case is that the Barça begins to depend on he in the most important appointments. After his return, in six parties (in League and Champions) has marked four goals and three of them have been key: one for empatar against Valencia and wake up to the team, another for the victory in front of the Dynamo of Kiev and to open the marker in front of the Celtic of Vigo (although the history afterwards went of terror). It is an explosive player, of this there are not doubts, and the picture culé has to a true 'jewel', but there are symptoms that can be dangerous.

And it is that the Barça has showed that if Ansu Fati is not, or does not show to his 100%, the team does not react. Against the Real Madrid happened like this and the team suffered. In front of the Ray and Sportive Alavés was not and the team 'punctured'. The Saturday, without him from the second part, the Barça went to rack and ruin and left empatarse a party that won comfortably 0-3... Something similar to what happened with Leo Messi until does some months?

With the Argentinian the situation was like this. To the Barça, even with him, did not reach him in a lot of parties, but was a reality that was the engine of the team. If it increased the speed, his mates did it. If had a good played, probably finish marking or assisting. The Barcelona played for him and the 'Messidependencia' was more than evident. It remains the feeling that the FC Barcelona expects to repeat and that now was the 'Ansudependencia'.

The youngsters can not do all the work

In this moment, in addition to Ansu Fati, the Barça is depending on players like Gavi, Nico, Pedri or also Ronald Araújo and Eric García. It is the team of the young promises, of this there is not doubt, but is unsustainable that there is dependency in footballers that are in full growth and that need leaders to purchase experience and, as it has to , learn of the big. It happened him to Messi in his moment and need it the new 'cracks'.

In this sense, is necessary that a lot of footballers of the first staff step advance and show his value. East would have to be the Barça where were shining players like Frenkie of Jong or Philippe Coutinho, but the reality is totally different. It is moment of necessary changes.... And the club culé needs more leaders.
