Koeman defends Messi and removes his responsibility of Barça's defeats

Lionel Messi has had the beginning of campaign more atypical since it is a professional footballer. While till lately it stood out for being the engine of the FC Barcelona, the able player to change him the rhythm to a party and do the difference, independently of the rival to the that confronted , in these last months the star rosarino has showed more than uncomfortable in the field and, although it hurt to all the barcelonismo, has turned into an obstacle so that other members of the staff show his best version.

In this campaign, Messi has marked seven so many in 13 parties that has contested. Although it is not a bad figure, the fact that five of the goals that has converted have been from the point penalti, if it leaves a signal that something is happening with the captain of the Barça. If to this add him that it has been one of the players that more balloons has lost and that has dribbled much less (when it was one of his specialitys), the situation becomes more than worrisome.

Worse still, the image that has left Messi like captain of the team is more questionable now. To the '10' no knows him for being a man of a lot of words, but seemed that in the parties that the Barça has gone to the half time underneath in the marker (as in front of the Atleti or Cádiz), Read had not motivated to his mates to go to by more and struggle by the shield that defend.

In spite of everything, Ronald Koeman, trainer blaugrana, trusts Lionel Messi and is conscious that it is necessary to support him in the moment that is living. With all what has attained and all the joys that has offered to the barcelonismo, would not have to be considered like the only guilty when the team loses. In fact, the Dutch recognises that Messi continues being determinant for the team, since "a lot of played come of the foot of Leo, although for a lot of was the easy culprit".

Although time is what less has the Barcelona for revertir the situation that lives in LaLiga, is evident that is what needs Messi to recover his best level, that already has showed it in front of the Betis and Osasuna. Besides, tonight in the Champions League will have an extra motivation when confronting to his eternal rival, by what could see once again the best version of the rosarino.

Messi or Cristiano?

In addition to showing his support to Leo Messi, Ronald Koeman has spoken on the eternal rivalry between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, those who have been the protagonists of the world-wide football in this decade by his big development in the attack. The two have achieved all, have the best registers goleadores of the 21st century and reencontrarán for the first time from the 2018, after the Portuguese went out of the Real Madrid with course to Turín.

Koeman Has said that it can not decide who is better between the two, put to that have been grandísimos players that have left his footprint in the football. "It is ugly to say who of the two is better, because both have been spectacular, with big parties, big played, big goals, and have the luck that we will be able to go back them to enjoy in the night", cleared.
