Anderson of Souza, more known like Deco, has conceded an interview to 'MD' in which it has analysed the difficult situation that crosses at present the FC Barcelona, answering besides on the possible exit of Leo Messi of the Barcelona team. The ex Portuguese player, that won the Champions League in two occasions, with the Carry in 2004 and with the Barça in 2006, does not have a clear favourite between Bayern and PSG.

"It is difficult to decide me by one of the two. We speak of two big teams. The Bayern showed his capacity in the party against the Barça, but see to the PSG with win to do something important and with Neymar to a very high level. Perhaps for having him to him and to Mbappé the PSG can have a point of advantage", argues, without knowing if Neymar Jr will finish going back some day to the FC Barcelona. "I do not know it. I think that it was very happy in the Barça and made history winning the triplete. It understood very well with Leo and for me was a surprise that left to the PSG, but also could go back".

"Messi is a player that wants to follow winning and will depend on what do the Barça to the hour to offer him a competitive team"

It would treat of a signing that definitely would reinforce a lot the attack of the Barça, but to day of today seems totally unfeasible. "It is a player desequilibrante, one of which greater capacity has in the one against one. But the go back or no many times does not depend of the player. The Barça and any team of the world would want to have he", insists the Portuguese.

It believes, besides, that the 2-8 between FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich does not reflect the real difference between both teams. "A hard result. They are things that can happen, but think that the marker does not reflect the reality of the difference that exists between the two teams. The Barça these last seasons has showed weaknesses and has been a bit intermittent and this time all went out him badly. If they played 10 times, would not give this result any again".

As a result of this result (and of the bad season in general lines), the Barça crosses now a hard sportive crisis. "It is difficult to say it from out because it is missing us information. When have a generation that carries long changing it is necessary to look for him little by little a spare, but in occasions is not easy to manage it because there are footballers that do not want to come not to be main protagonists. I think that there have been signings that have not gone out well and also has lost important players like Xavi, Iniesta or Thiago. The Barça has not been able to give him answer to these losses", expresses Deco.

"The Barça these last seasons has showed weaknesses and has been a bit intermittent"

Desconoce If Leo Messi will leave or no the FC Barcelona, although it expects that it do not do it. "I do not know it, but has agreement. It is a player that wants to follow winning and will depend on what do the Barça to the hour to offer him a competitive team. I have not spoken with him, but I am sure that this is what thinks".

And it dares to give a council to the Argentinian. "I think that it has to think in his future to sportive level. It is very difficult to take a decision because we speak of the club of his life, and is not that it have been in the Barça only three or four years. We are speaking of the best player of the history of the club and that his family is tied to the city. It is not easy. But also it is clear that it wants to follow winning. We do not imagine us a Barça without Leo, but can happen".

Koeman, Trincao and new faces in the Barça

It can that Ronald Koeman, that already held a conversation with Leo Messi this week, attain to convince to the rosarino. Deco Thinks that the Dutch can help to the Barcelona to recover of the crisis. "A trainer that knows very well the club and has a lot of experience. It knows all the surroundings of the Barça and think that can help to the Barça in this moment".

And, on his compatriot Francisco Trincao, thinks that also can triumph in the rows of the Barcelona group. Although it will be necessary to have patience. "It is young. Has talent and a big future by in front. In the Barça many times do not have time and demands you a lot from the start. But sure that it can do with a gap in the Barça of face to the future".
