The turn of Leo Messi to the FC Barcelona is a more real option that never. After quite a lot of time in which it gave the feeling that see again to the Argentinian star with the Barcelona T-shirt was almost impossible, now the returns have changed. The '10' no longer has at all clear to renew with Paris Saint-Germain and has opened him a door to the team of his life of face to this summer.

The known meeting between Jorge, the father of the 'crack', and Joan Laporta, has been the first taking of contact for limar asperezas between both parts after a lot of taut months. The 'get angry' initial of the Messi when the president could not renew him in 2021 and the attacker had to do the cases has left step to the pardon. This neither much less wants to say that the international by Argentina was near, since it is a complex operation, but now yes there is a possibility to go back to see him in the Camp Nou.

His return goes to depend especially of the 'Fair Play' of the that have the Barça of face to the course that comes. Although it seems that Leo would be had to recess the wage to return, would keep on being a high wage that the club still does not know if it goes to be able to pay. The next months will be fundamental to know if this signing will be viable or no. But in the meantime, it is necessary to speak of how could affect him to the picture barcelonista futbolísticamente the arrival of his 'Mesías'.

In spite of the recent 'KO' in the Europe League, the enésimo European of the culés, Xavi Hernández is achieving to give him back the football, the illusion, the style and the competitiveness to the team. The trainer of Terrassa is betting in big parties by a species of 4-4-2 with four pure midfield players, an extreme and a leading centre, without shelving the 4-3-3 more classical for other so many meetings of League.

But the turn of Messi could have to do that the egarense change his training to include him in the eleven. The Argentinian could adapt so much to the 4-3-3 in right as to the system with four means, being he a species of second forward by behind Robert Lewandowski, falling more rightwards. Nevertheless, his defensive capacity are far from to be the one of Raphina, Dembélé or Ferran Torres, that are the players that more are playing by this side.

Messi, decisive in attack and a problem backwards

Leo keeps on being one of the best with balloon, but if antaño already worked little without him, now this is even more significant. To the still player of the PSG no can him ask to these heights of his career that go down with his mark to defend and this is a problem. With a 4-4-2 this could cover being the midfield player that play by right the one who help to the side, but this could descompensar to the team, since the half that played more thrown to the left would have to do the helps to the carrilero left-handed, by what the team would remain with alone two mediocampistas to defend the centre and help the central.

However, in spite of everything, the system with four midfield players is to day of today the one who more would favour to Leo and the one who more would cover his low exert offensive. Pedri, Gavi and Frenkie of Jong have bottom and sufficient youth to be able to cover the spaces to which do not arrive Messi. Sergio Busquets, that if it went back the one of Rosario is almost safe that would renew, perhaps could suffer more if it has to cover more field. Thus, the presence of the Argentinian could suppose the suplencia of 'Busi' in parties 'big', with Frenkie in his place and Franck Kessié, Sergi Roberto or another half that can arrive occupying the interior.

In Paris Saint-Germain remains clear every time that Lionel shares forward with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr in a duel of height in Champions that the convivencia of the flamante champion of the Argentinian world with other two attackers of súper elite does to the less competitive team that in a 4-4-2. In this case, neither he neither Neymar neither Mbappé have by habit go down too much to help in defence, something that prejudices to the team and that does more difficult to be competitive.

Taking into account the explained, in the Barça Messi could repeat a line of attack something similar with Lewandowski of '9', Ousmane Dembélé in the left and he in right. 'Dembouz' Is more sacrificed that Neymar and that Mbappé, and 'Lewy' is a 'killer' that at all has to see with Kylian, but still like this a 4-4-3 with the 36 years that will have for then Read does not seem the best training to compete of you to you against clubs of elite. In League, in the day in day out, this system could follow giving him to the a lot of Barcelona victories, but in Europe would be another 'sing'.

Messi would leave several victims in the forward

If the 4-3-3 remains descartado for the big days, it is necessary to speak of the footballers that would see arrinconados with the turn of the rosarino. Dembélé, if it renews, something that is more than likely, would keep on being titularísimo when Xavi go out with three attackers, that will be a lot of days. However, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati himself would see clearly reduced his minutes and his roles.

In the case of the Brazilian, that in principle will follow the next season, his paper would be the one of acting of Messi. The ex of the Leeds has not surrendered when Xavi has put him in the left, on the contrary that Dembélé, that stands out in both bands. Therefore, his options to be headline would diminish considerably and could become one of the big revulsivos from the bench.

Ferran and Ansu, that for the time being have a secondary paper in the Barça, would litigate to 'priori' for being the spare of 'Dembouz' in the left. The 'losing' between both would become the extreme chamber and could have a quite residual role. Luckily, the two are solutions to relieve to Lewandowski by the centre, but if the Barcelona index card a '9' acting, something that seems to be a priority for the entity, one of the two would remain without a fixed place in the staff.

Messi would improve to Lewandowski and Dembélé

Nevertheless, in spite of the retouchings and changes that would have to do Xavi, does not be necessary to forget that Leo would go up the offensive level of the Barça, in addition to giving him that 'plus' of experience and the winning gene that always has had. With him like pasador, Lewandowski would improve even more his registers and the own Dembélé could go up to the following level with him to his side, now that at last it is beginning to mark goals.

The perfect stage would be that the Catalan trainer achieved that the 4-3-3 with two extremes worked of regular form. This would facilitate a lot the management of his resources and would achieve not having to diminish of form so drastic the minutes of the rest of attackers. Here it is the key of the ideal integration of the rosarino to this new Barcelona. It seems a difficult mission, but neither much less impossible, exactly the same that his signing.
