I am very disappointed, Ansu deserved much more,” Bori Fati added.”Why doesn’t Xavi play him more?” Bori Fati asked. “I don’t have an answer. We’re talking about the number 10 of Barca.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7134767####EDITORS_CHOICE##Bori Fati wanted to clarify that Ansu is “not upset with Xavi”, who he idolizes, but stressed that he is angry as a father and “very sad”.That’s the reason he doesn’t go to the stadium to see Barca anymore.”Xavi is a good guy,” Bori Fati said. “He spoke to me two to three times and he’s very nice. He gave him specific work, and it has helped him a lot. I’m angry, it’s true. As a father, I see Ansu [playing] for a short time and it p*sses me off but I think as a father, not as a coach.”Who’s the next Golden Boy? Camavinga, Ansu Fati among the top contendersConfirming Marca’s report, Bori Fati said that the club wants to keep Ansu, but his agent Jorge Mendes has many other offers.”I have told Ansu that it is better for him to have a change of scenery,” Bori Fati said. “[But] Ansu does not agree with me. He wants to stay and succeed at FC Barcelona.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7138729##Saying that he will meet Mendes in a month and that he wants his son “to triumph”, Bori Fati risked enraging Barca fans by not ruling out a move to bitter rivals Real Madrid.”I’m not going to criticize Real Madrid because life takes many turns and you never know what can happen,” said Bori, who scolded his son for being “asleep” and not listening to him because of the size of Barca as a club.
