Rebirth! Messi s heir switched to France with 6 goals in 5 games, and 1 goal in 42 minutes is amazing

Fati, who wears Barcelona's No. 10 but was lost in injuries, has now regained the appearance of the future superstar that countless fans expected in France.

Fati, who joined Monaco on loan this summer, has already scored his fifth goal in Ligue 1 this season in his third Ligue 1 game. The 22-year-old Spanish forward has now scored 5 goals in only 208 minutes of playing in Ligue 1, averaging 1 goal every 42 minutes. His efficiency is amazing. Now Fati not only quickly adapted to the Ligue 1 league, but also scored 5 goals in the first 3 Ligue 1 games. He became one of the three players to achieve this achievement this century, alongside Balotelli and Greenwood.

Fati had a perfect start in Monaco. In his Ligue 1 debut against Metz, he scored in just 38 seconds after coming off the bench, becoming the fastest player to score in his Ligue 1 debut since 2014 (Yassin Banmu scored 32 seconds into his Ligue 1 debut when he played for Nantes). This lightning goal seemed to set the tone for his Monaco career. In subsequent games against Lorient and Nice, Fati continued to maintain his hot feet. Especially in the game against Nice, he scored twice on penalty kicks.

Now, Fati has scored 5 goals in only 3 Ligue 1 games and leads the Ligue 1 scorer list. If you include 1 goal in 2 games in the Champions League, Fati has scored a total of 6 goals in the 5 games he has played for Monaco so far, which has exceeded his total in Barcelona and Brighton in the previous two seasons. This performance has once again made him the focus of European football.

Fati's goal efficiency is indeed amazing, with 9 shots and 6 goals in 5 games. However, if you analyze the composition of these goals in depth, you will find that three of them came from the penalty spot. However, a penalty kick is also a goal, even if it has different technical requirements and psychological pressure from goals in sports games. The 22-year-old Fati's superb football intelligence, skills and excellent goal awareness have always been his weapon in finding opportunities. He has a keen sense of smell in the penalty area and his final touch is extremely accurate.

Looking back on Fati's career, he has also stood at the top. Not only is he the youngest goalscorer in Barcelona's history, he also took over the No. 10 jersey left by Messi. November 2020 became a turning point in his career. A serious knee injury caused him to undergo multiple surgeries, followed by a long recovery period. Injuries cost him his place at Barcelona. Last season, he only made 6 appearances in Barcelona and failed to make any achievements, and could not find a foothold in Flick's lineup. A loan spell at Brighton also failed to help him regain his form, and it wasn't until he joined Monaco this summer that he really began to rejuvenate.

For Fati, Monaco seems to provide an ideal haven. Hütter assured him of a starting spot and that the team would also be able to compete in the Champions League. Here Fati gained something that was scarce in Barcelona and Brighton, which was continuous playing time, the coach's trust and patient training. Moreover, Monaco's tactical system seems to be more suitable for Fati's characteristics. Compared with the Barcelona period, his offensive burden in Monaco is lighter and he is more focused on completing the final blow in the penalty area.

Despite Fati's impressive start with Monaco, discussions surrounding his return to Barcelona are still rife with doubts. After all, Fati's physical decline may be irreversible after a serious injury. Some professionals pointed out that he still has obvious shortcomings, including deficiencies in confrontation strength and speed and explosiveness, which limits his overall influence in sports battles. What's even more worrying is that there are reports that Fati's shooting power is limited by thigh muscle problems and cannot achieve 100% effectiveness. At most, he can only produce 70% of the power.

Although the future is still uncertain, Fati is only 22 years old, and the ups and downs in his career seem to have made him more mature. When he knelt on the turf to celebrate his goal, the dark years entangled with injuries and doubts were being dispelled little by little by the sunshine of Monaco. For Fati, those dark injury years seem to be gradually being dispelled by the sunshine of Monaco.
