One of the appearances that better values Lionel Messi of his new technician, is the physical preparation that is carrying out with the team. In the first meetings of LaLiga the players have noticed the change with regard to the past year.
The FC Barcelona goes back to have strengths to harass to the rival after losing the possession from the first minute and after the first pressure, replegar fast. The big example of this improvement, to physical level, is the past meeting in Balaídos. The Barça arrived with spare petrol to the minute 95, and solved without problems a party that could put complicated with the expulsion of Lenglet.
Ronald Koeman, when landing in Barcelona, decided to restart the contact with Albert Rock and hire it like preparador physical. Precisely, it went the same member of the technical picture, the one who fulfilled with this task in the Barça of Rijkaard. The trainer of guardametas, Henrik Larsson, exjugador of the FC Barcelona of this period, spoke him very well of his work and did not doubt in having he.
Lionel is tired of not competing by the most important titles, as in front of did the Barça. Already it warned it in the interview in which it ensured that it would follow a year more in the club: "there is not project neither there is at all, go doing malabares and go covering holes to measure that go happening the things". It seems that, in spite of his words, the Argentinian every time is more satisfied with the approach of Koeman.
In fact, one of the players that has improved his level of fitness, of evident way, is the own Lionel Messi. No longer it remains at all of that Messi that it remained descolgado beside Luis Suárez. In Balaídos, in spite of the gale, the rosarino did not tire to pursue the balloon and of encarar with danger. Even in the played of the last goal, is the own Leo the one who generates the occasion after a played individual in the minute 95.

Only it is necessary to see to the Bayern Munich, the most dominant team of the world, that bases his game in the physical capacity of the players.
