He&#8217;s a star,&#8221; Ansu told <\/p>\n<p>Rediscovering the joy of football in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/soccer\/monaco-team\" class=\"entity\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Monaco<\/a><img  width=\"640\" height=\"427\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"true\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">After a difficult period at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/soccer\/barcelona-guayaquil-team\" class=\"entity\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Barcelona<\/a> and a mixed loan spell in the Premier League with Brighton, Ansu has finally found his rhythm at Monaco. With 11 goals across Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season, averaging a goal every 110 minutes, the forward admits he is finally feeling like himself again. The move to Stade Louis II has provided the consistency and playing time that he had been desperately lacking due to recurring fitness issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"true\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">&#8220;I feel comfortable playing and I&#8217;m enjoying it. It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve been able to play consistently or feel so free on the pitch,&#8221; Ansu explained. &#8220;Now I&#8217;m enjoying myself and feeling good, which is what I was looking for after a long time. It had been years since I felt so free.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Addressing the Barcelona dream and injury scars<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"true\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">Despite his success abroad, Ansu\u2019s heart remains closely tied to the club where he made his name. He addressed the difficulties he faced at Camp Nou, suggesting there was more to his struggle for minutes than the public realised. &#8220;My dream has always been to succeed at Bar\u00e7a and to be able to play, but many things have happened that people don&#8217;t see, that they don&#8217;t know about or what I&#8217;ve been through,&#8221; he revealed. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had many injuries and I haven&#8217;t had the consistency or the opportunity. Football moves very fast and there&#8217;s no patience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Uncertainty over Ansu\u2019s next move<img  width=\"640\" height=\"427\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"true\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">As his loan spell in France nears its conclusion, questions regarding Ansu\u2019s permanent future remain unanswered. While he continues to support Barcelona from afar &#8211; even admitting he would have been at the Clasico this weekend to cheer them on if his schedule allowed &#8211; he is keeping his options open for next season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"true\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">&#8220;I still don&#8217;t know what will happen next year. We&#8217;ll wait until the season is over and make the best decision for me and my career,&#8221; Ansu stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Admiration for Barca&#8217;s newest No.10 As a former prodigy and Barca No.10 himself, Ansu praised &#8220;He&#8217;s incredible.
