Ansu Fati has been enjoying life at Monaco after joining the club from Barcelona on a season-long loan.
The forward has scored six goals in six games for the Ligue 1 club but was left frustrated last time out against Angers.
Fati couldn’t find the back of the net and also wasn’t too happy about being subbed off by new manager Sébastien Pocognoli.
The Barca star refused a handshake with his coach, but Pocognoli has sought to play down the incident.
“We spoke after the match. He reacted in a good way.
That is player is disappointed when coming off is normal, but there is always thinking behind it, be it medical or tactical,” he said.
“Beyond the reaction (from Fati), which was clumsy, this kind of episode teaches me a lot about what we need to work on with some players and with Ansu, there is a need [to work on] emotional control.
“I am not a manager who closes himself off from one reaction, so long as the player has the right attitude the next day. So there is no affair beyond what we have seen. It was unfortunate, but no more than that.”
Fati will be hoping for more minutes later today when Monaco take on Tottenham in the Champions League.
