It begins a new season and the Barça can not remain in the 'wail' by the exit of Messi of the club, especially because the team has tools to go back to the highest

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The goodbye of Leo Messi of the FC Barcelona has been surprising for all the barcelonismo and a difficult hit to surpass for the changing room, that had had like reference to the Argentinian in the last years. The true is that the 'only that okay' for the culés right now is to happen the page, as already it has asked it Ronald Koeman, and begin from zero to build to the new Barça, to weigh that it seem impossible.

Because the question is: there is Barça without Messi? Historically, it has showed that the teams have gone out to float in spite of losing to his maximum star. It is true that will take time and a lot of work (in all the sectors of the club), but sooner or later the club will go back to be in the highest... And it is necessary to prepare for this. The 'how' is the big interrogante, since the reality is that, especially in the last years, 'The Flea' was the point diferenciador of the Barça in thefield , a species of 'engine' that changed the game to his antojo. And of course that the team will throw it in fault.

Focused only in the sportive subject (already in the economic is another history), the blaugrana confront to big consequences; especially with the quantity of goals. Only I Read it commissioned to mark, at least, 30 so many by season. Already in the past course Griezmann jumped like goleador, but only reached the 20 targets, by the 38 of the Argentinian. 18 less. Besides, it is necessary to add him the assistances that contributed campaign after campaign Leo (14, in the last). No only this, lamentably. The one of Rosario intimidated to his rivals, encouraged to his mates and 'launched' to the team to the victory.

They are many the negative appearances; all valid. But also the Barça can surpass the biggest loss of his history. It is true that the club has not handled well the escape of stars in the last years, but there is with what believe in a 'Barça post-Messi' because the reality is that they follow having stars in the changing room, no so decisive, but there are them. The most key point is that they assume, many of them, a role of leader for 'take out' advance to the team.

In a first point, the most veteran: Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto or Ter Stegen, have to get dressed of leaders and 'promote' to the more youngsters, turn into the voice of the changing room and put the order when it was necessary. His new role, without place to doubts, will influence directly in the exert of all in the field, because they will be convinced that -to fault of Messi-, are they the image of the Barça. And the responsibility (and win to take it) will be maximum.

The 'tasks' do not finish there. In addition to the leadership, other players have to take a step forward. In the attack, Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay will have to show his best vesión like goleadores, but are not the only. Pedri, to the one who already has demanded him too much also, has to promote his version in the UD Palms that stole looks and carried all the praises, being key in the put offensive of his team. In the Barça, has shined more by his recovery and handle in the centre of the field, but that add to the attack will be totally key.

Keys without Messi

On the other hand, if there is something that, of some way, is positive of the exit of 'The Flea' of the Barça, is that there will be more opportunities for the rotation and the team, in theory, has to improve his put defensive. Regarding the first point, when it was Messi, was indisputable headline, because it had won it to him (by all that that mention before), but now is lto open door so that more players can 'lead' to the team in the offensive and Koeman can 'play' with the positions.

Because it is not a secret that Messi eclipsaba all the attack, for well or for bad, and his mates remained in a second flat. In the Barça can happen what happened in the Madrid with the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo: the club lost a lot goal and shine, but for example Karim Benzema felt more 'freed' in the field and became more determinant, goleador and essential for his. The same can happen with Griezmann, Ansu Fati or Dembélé, in addition to the new signings (Agüero and Memphis).

In the second point, as it has explained it Pichi Alonso for 'SPORT', "is very likely that win in defensive solidity and in defensive balance like block, simply because rare time saw to Leo run to recover a balloon and delaying to close the exit of the rival".

In definite, is too what loses the Barça without Messi, but no everything is 'sentenced'. Only it does fault that begin the true work and that Ronald Koeman find the formulas so that a team struck can renacer and achieve the best version... Showing that there is life after Leo Messi.
