The statistics do not mention. The big Argentinian star of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, is playing increasingly move# away of the rival area, and this would be prejudicing him slightly regarding the occasions of goal that is used to to have by party, in comparison with which had months backwards, being the main spearhead of the Barça and the offensive referent of the team. The past season finish with more than 50 goals, but seems that this campaign, in spite of being cuajando performances of a high level, the goal no longer is the paramount aim of the "10".
In front of Real Madrid and Athletic of Madrid remained checked, this last week, that Lionel Messi is used to to act practically like a midfield player -or mediapunta- when has the spherical in his power, delaying a lot his position to the hour to receive balloons and happening too time no longer only in the zone of three chambers of field, but very near of the point of the centre of the field, beside Iniesta, Rakitic and the rest of interiors.
The aim of Leo Messi is to attract to the rival defence and drag to those that more rivals can for, of this form, take out of the basket happen magic and milimétricos to the desmarques of Neymar Jr and Luis Suárez in attack. Many times the played goes out to perfection and achieve create several opportunities of clear goal, since after said passes the Argentinian star incorporates to the played arriving from second line.
In the two last parties, however, "The Flea" had to resort in too many occasions to the shot from out of the area, can that because the rival defenders every time know better his tactics and know to cover him better the spaces to the hour to combine with his mates. Messi chains already three consecutive parties without marking and seems that the goal 500 of his career futbolística resists him , but this does not concern for nothing to the Argentinian.
Sources like "Sport", besides, signal that the fact that Leo Messi delay so much his position to receive would be due to the will of Luis Enrique, the one who would have believed timely to move him away of the right band of form circunstancial, during the two last parties, for of this way reinforce the centre of the field in front of two rivals of world-wide size as they are Real Madrid and Athletic.
In Anoeta, this next Saturday against the Real Sociedad (20.30 hours), foresees that the fans of the FC Barcelona go back to enjoy of the most offensive version of Leo Messi, the one who besides will be especially motivated when treating of an opponent to the that has not achieved to win during the two last campaigns in San Sebastián.
The positive note of the reubicación of Leo Messi like mediapunta, in the centre of the field, is that to measure that go sucediéndose the seasons and the prodigious forward lose the spark of speed, always will be able to act like Iniesta or Xavi Hernández, turning into the best midfield player of the planet... If it is that it is not it already.
