One does not arrive to turn into the best footballer of the world -and can that of the history- for being a big goleador, assistant or canalizador of game, but rather for gathering all these capacities in a mind futbolística so brilliant like moldable. The "intelligence" of which spoke Xavi Hernández in one of his last interviews, and that cost him the criticisms of Cristiano Ronaldo, is what has converted to Leo Messi in a living myth in the history of the deport king and, of course, in the essence of the FC Barcelona.

Our mates of "Echos of the Balloon" have published in the social networks a video in which they analyse the last tactical changes that has experienced in the Barça Leo Messi, a player with full freedom of movements to the one who Luis Enrique devotes to give loose rein, conscious that of the own taking of decisions of the Argentinian is used to to go out always the best offensive option of the team.

The analysts Alejandro Brook and Abel Rojas explain how, with the course of Dani Alves, the offensive deployment of Messi has varied slightly regarding the of the last seasons in Can Barça.

In the first place it is the exchange of position with Rakitic in the right interior, in determinate occasions, that allows to Messi yield balloons in depth for the incorporations in attack of Sergi Roberto, Rakitic, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba or Neymar, these two last in left band.

From it does some time, besides, can see how Leo Messi retreats slightly his position until the mediapunta, generating in occasions a 4-3-1-2 in a Barcelona with Neymar Jr and Luis Suárez something more advanced.

The mobility of Messi, that has happened now to communicate more with Andrés Iniesta and Neymar Jr in the left flank, causes a greater basculación of the rival defences and, consistently, more fatigue accumulated for them along the parties.

These defences open and the attackers of the Barça have more spaces, what repercute in more goals in favour -at least for the moment- for a Barça that, with Messi, goes back to aspire to all this season 2016-17. Long life to the king.
