The former Barcelona player Marc
Bartra, which is in its fourth season in the Real
Betis, has declared himself an admirer of the footballing potential of the Barça youth squad Ansu
Fati, of which he assures that “it will mark an era in LaLiga and in the world”. The center-back has valued Pellegrini's experience as a determining value on the Betic bench this season, in which he believes his team needs to be “more regular” to show “our great potential”.
“Ansu is 17 years old and I see a lot of potential, he has everything. I have followed him since he was very young and as a player he is fast, skilled, can play one on one and is a good finisher, which is possibly the most important thing. I think it will mark an era in LaLiga, if he continues to play here, and in the world, ”says the Betic center-back, in statements collected by Livescore.
Bartra also spoke of the hierarchy that Pellegrini has within the Betic dressing room. “He is a very experienced coach. His career speaks for itself. He was a player for many years. You can see that he has worked with high-level dressing rooms, elite players. He has the experience and when watching football he quickly identifies the little details. He is respected and his words have a lot of influence since he is very direct, which is very important. As an elite athlete, you appreciate his way of working ”.
The center-back valued Real Betis' league start, with many ups and downs. “It is very important to have that consistency that I think we have found in many games, but perhaps not in others. Finding that consistency would make us continue even stronger, with more confidence and show our great potential, which I think is a lot ”, said Bartra.
