Flick’s last words on Fati
“Whether he will stay or go? It’s very important to be honest with the players and I was honest with him. We talked about different options, he didn’t ask me to leave, but now it’s his decision. If he wants to stay, that’s fine , he is a Masia player. This is professional: the pitch and performances count. My job is to help him improve and that is what we want to do with all the players. He is very professional and I always want to help him.”
