The dream of Monchi: carry to Ivan Rakitic to the Rome

Ivan Rakitic has a very important role for the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde. The Barcelona midfield player has turned into the man that gives him balance in the centre of the field beside Sergio Busquets and the Txingurri trusts fully in his possibilities. If his performance in previous seasons already was well with Luis Enrique, with the technician extremeño has increased of spectacular form.

Monchi, sportive director of the ACE Rome, next rival of the FC Barcelona in Champions League, confessed, in an interview for the Chain Cope, that would not doubt in fichar to the Croatian for the Italian group. "The Barça has a lot of players that would like to any sportive director. Ivan Rakitic is doing a season to a very high level", answered, when they asked him to what Barcelona ficharía.

Leo Messi and the eliminatory of Champions

Monchi Also thinks that the presence or no of Leo Messi is very important for the FC Barcelona, but that the Rome will have to centre in a lot of more players if really it wants to hurt him to the team of Ernesto Valverde, that splits like big favourite to carry the eliminatory of quarter-finals.

"Be or not being Messi conditions a team, but does not seem me just say that the Barça without Messi turns into a vulgar team. Messi marks differences and converts to the Barça in a more unbeatable team, but also there are players that accompany and that do that it was a very difficult team to surpass", commented the sportive director of the roman group.

Alisson And Under, stars of the Rome

Monchi Also spoke of two of the important players of the Rome. First it spoke on Alisson, the goalkeeper: "it Is having a growth tremendo and is being key in the successes of our team. They are 17 parties imbatido in the league, in Champions has not yielded neither a goal home. It is in the full maturity with 26 years and is able to resolve difficult situations, transmits a lot of confidence to the team".

Also it thought on Under, a player that he same discovered and that has exploded in the present campaign. "I do not think that it was well compare him with Messi. We are speaking of a youngster of 20 years that is important from recently. Still it is not in the level of maturity to assume an important role. Others yes, like Nainggolan, Strootman, Of Rossi, Dzeko or Manolas", sentenced.
