FC Barcelona and Sporting of Portugal play a lot on the lawn of the stadium José Alvalade, and is that repeat victory in the second day of the Champions allanaría the way of Catalans or Portuguese to the eliminatory round of the European championship. The lusos know that big part of his options go through to minimise the impact of Leo Messi, and have several alternatives to stop him.
The Argentinian seems to have turned into the solution to the Barcelona game from the arrival of Ernesto Valverde, that has stressed more if it fits his influence on the game. Like this, the rivals centre in the last weeks in applying his own remedies to imprison to the '10' and increase his options to mark.
Like this it pretends to do it the Sporting, that still has not confirmed if it will apply an individual labeling to Messi as it already tried the Girona. Rodrigo Battaglia or even Jérémy Mathieu could be the attendants to pursue to the of Rosario, although in any case the defence of the 'isõHim' know very what is to confront to the forward. The star culé will go back to find in José Alvalade with an ex of the Betis, Cristiano Piccini, another of the Madrid, Fabio Coentrao, and the French, his mate until the past summer.
Jorge Jesús plays to the distraction
The option to situate an individual labeling on Leo Messi follows sounding with strength although the technician of the Sporting of Portugal, Jorge Jesús, confirmed that there will be distinctions with the Argentinian. The technician signalled to the '10' as a very difficult player to stop, but ensured that "we go to play as always. Without at all specific neither labeling further of the collective work, as always in our team". It is for seeing.
