Barcelona are wary of expectations knocking Ansu Fati off his game.

So much so, that Barca plan to hire a sophrologist to work with the 16 year-old.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito.

"Barcelona does not want to repeat the Bojan (Krkic) case, who was very young and I witnessed the panic attack that prevented him from debuting with the National Team.

"In Barcelona they are thinking of putting a sophrologist to work with Ansu Fati. This will allow him to grow in a balanced way before the big things reach him."

Barca are determined to protect Fati, keeping him away from the media and also the local nightlife.

The proximity of Leo Messi - whose brother Rodrigo is his agent - is seen as fundamental to Fati learning how to handle the pressure.
