AS: Fati s condition has declined significantly, and the change of coach may be one of the reasons

Ansu Fati performed well at the beginning of the season and became Monaco's new hope. However, the Spanish striker's form has declined in the last four games, failing to score and being used as a substitute in the last two games. In this regard, "Aspen" wrote an article saying that the change of coach may be one of the reasons.

In Monaco’s brilliant Champions League match against Bode, Fati was unable to travel with the team due to physical discomfort. He is expected to return for Saturday's crucial game against Lens. Monaco recently changed its head coach, with the club sacking Hütter and hiring Poconioli, which may have been one of the reasons for Fati's decline in form in October.

In fact, Hüter was the key figure in promoting Fati to join Monaco. The dialogue between the two played a decisive role in finalizing Fati's loan. Hüter also appointed Fati as the first choice to take penalty kicks. Before October 18, Fati had scored six goals, half of which came from penalty kicks.

The new coach Poconioli adopted a 3-4-3 formation and placed Fati in the attacking midfielder position, which required him to put in more effort and stay away from the opponent's goal. When Hütter was coaching, Fati often played the role of center or second forward. Poconoli's system requires Fati to receive the ball with his back more often, which obviously reduces his chances of scoring.

Monaco has failed to achieve ideal results in the Champions League and Ligue 1. They hope to quickly find Fati, who scored six goals in five games and once became the top scorer in Ligue 1. The club are privately still very happy with his arrival and Saturday's game against Lens will be the perfect opportunity for Fati to prove himself again.
