Xavi defines how Leo Messi would fit into his Barça

The future of Lionel Messi is in the air. It has desvelado that is very near to define his future, that probably will be far of Paris. The FC Barcelona is one of his options, but have not done him arrive an offer, whereas from Saudi Arabia are had to throw the house by the window to achieve his incorporation. The next days will be key and the blaugrana will have to put the batteries to avoid 'lose it'.

In the meantime, to voice populi from the City Condal continue inviting to 'The Flea' to return. Xavi Hernández has been the last that has pronounced to give, again, the seen well to his incorporation. It has left clear that would not have to change his approach neither that with his arrival 'would affect' the defensive system of his team. In statements to 'SPORT', has confessed .

The formula of Xavi with Messi

The Barcelona trainer has aimed that, in case to go back, would have a fan of options to position it in his alignment: "No, it would be practically the same, the same idea and model", adding that "Leo could play in several positions, in several positions: of false nine, of extreme, of interior, even in the base coming to do the last pass".

The versatility of the footballer is a point for, because especially in these last years has showed to know adapt to different positions and stages. Xavi has stood out that "Leo has turned into almost 'half-midfield player', almost like a mediapunta, and has this capacity at the end", recognising that "perhaps the explosividad has gone it losing, but also saw to a Messi in the World-wide extraordinary, with explosividad, no, at the end I think that has still years by in front, of a lot of level. To us no, today there is not any doubt that would help us".

Messi, a defensive problem?

Although it is a player that adds a lot to offensive level, does not characterise especially for involving in the defensive tasks. Questioned in this regard, has done upsetting in that it is a task "of the team. At the end you can not him ask the same defensive level to Dembéle that Koundé. Many times the extreme despista and does not do you an equal turn in the minute 80 that in the minute 20", but has revealed the formula to solve it.

Xavi explained that, in this case, would have to "compensate it with footballers. At the end, the work and the obligations are equal for all. And we have seen it with Robert Lewandowski, crack world-wide, that has adapted very well to our high pressure, to our pressure after loss, to our half block-low block. As the same for the footballers that can incorporate . The same".
