Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona initiates this week a hard career and no only by the hard calendar that expects -Inter of Milan, this Wednesday, in party of Champions League; Real Madrid, the Sunday, in party of LaLiga- but because it will have to save without Leo Messi, that suffered a grave injury in the arm the past weekend in front of the Seville.

In the previous press conference to the European duel in front of the Inter of Milan -in which the Barça will play the leadership of the Group B against the Italian team- Ernesto Valverde spoke of the 'Messidependencia' and of the options that contemplates to relieve this so sensitive drop in his alignments. It did not want to give names, but left in the air even a possible change of diagram.

"We have to try between all that this absence of Messi notice the less possible"

Valverde Recognised that they will notice a lot his absence, although it can not give a name for suplirle since it will be task of all the team: "If Messi plays in any team, is evident that marks it because it is the one who is. It shows it each day. That we depend on Messi the same that depend on others, but is that Messi is the best that have seen. It is normal. We have to try between all that this absence notice the less possible. We will not have this genialidad, but will have to be effective".

The Txingurri showed wary in the room of press and no desveló details on his plan to relieve to Messi, but left to fall that it can have change of diagram: "I Contemplate several alternatives. Have several players that can play here, can change the diagram. Surely they are all especulando. I suppose that the contrary trainer also, but do not go him to throw a wire".

When asking after him the time of recovery of the '10' culé, Ernesto Valverde explained that the most likely is that they can not shorten terms of recovery: "it Is truth that the doctors have spoken of three weeks. Always you think in shortening terms, but when it speaks to shorten, is used to to be with muscular subjects. In this case it is another question. It would like me say that yes, that will give you a surprise, but fear me that it will not be like this".

Malcom and Dembélé

Two of the possible substitutes of Leo Messi in the alignment can be Malcom or Ousmane Dembélé. On the French, commented the whistles that received of the fans: "Dembélé loses a balloon, Rakitic loses a balloon... All lose a balloon. Everything is question of how reactions after losing it. That the public was demanding, happens us to all. We are in the team that are and have this requirement".

Also it spoke on Malcom, that has not gone summoned in the last meetings. "It is truth that has participated little, but has to be ready. We do not know when it can be. It can be morning or another day", commented, adding that "it does not happen at all with him, that are playing others in his position. The season is long and will have his possibilities, as all".
