Messi is key in the line-up of Barça... But also LaLiga's top scorer substitute

The FC Barcelona ultima his preparativos for the fight by the titles, and does it looking askance to Leo Messi. After the stop of the coronavirus, the confinement and a brief but intense 'pre-season', touches to play LaLiga and the Champions League in three months of maximum intensity, in which it will be determinant the contribution of the captain. If the best footballer of the planet is in good form, will be much simpler to conquer trophies.

Quique Setién has several puzzles for resolving, and one of them is how dosificar to the Argentinian. To his 32 years, started the season lastrado by the injuries, that had him several months in the dry dam. This same week, a slight contracture has served of warning, and has underlined that for the culés the key could be his descasos, since it would shine more being cool in a calendar with parties each three days.

The problem is that it is difficult to conceive an eleven without the '10' like reference, although the data reveal that it is the acting more goleador of the Spanish championship. His 24 targets, without explaining assistances, only surpass them Julio Saltworks (that it annotated 28) and Óscar of Paula (27), and in both cases treats of players withdrawn. Between those that are in active is again the leader of a classification that recalca his influence, since the one of Rosario plays and does to play and power to his mates every time that steps the terrain of game. Whatever happens, it marks differences.

In the past campaign already there were several examples that the 'Messi relieve' also is a guarantee, although it is clear that is not literal because in occasions could remain without time. Half hour sufficed him to convert a 1-1 in front of the Leganés in a 3-1 favourable to the Catalans, and the same sucedió in a sprint of madness that certified a 4-4 against the Villarreal and a triumph in front of the Raise in which it went the only that could beat to Aitor.

In spite of his needs, the technician has explained that prefers to have to Leo in the field, and that in function of what occur will go reacting. It does not be necessary to forget that, even having the time of drop at the beginning of the course, has contested 31 parties in which it has contributed 24 so many and 16 assistances. Statistics like these can not leave cheerfully in the bench, and more taking into account his capacity to generate football.

Setién Can throw hand of the 'method Valverde'

If it needs it, Setién could take out benefit of the 'method Ernesto Valverde', an expert in reserving the petrol of Messi since it landed in the Camp Nou. The extremeño opted by consensuar with the captain the absences and the time that would happen far of the lawn, a decision in which also they valued the feelings of the footballer and the recommendations of the doctors. With a calendar of crazy and a programming of the most demanding, will touch to resort to what do lacking to procure that the rosarino was in the best conditions to lead to the Barça.
