It does a week, seemed that the cycle of Leo Messi in the FC Barcelona had finish . The burofax of the Argentinian star informing about his intentions to abandon the club of his life terminating his agreement unilaterally seemed to finish with two decades of the 'flea' defending the Barcelona T-shirt. A week and average later of this, the situation seems to have invested.

The FC Barcelona opuso to his course understanding that Leo Messi could not break the agreement by his account and LaLiga gave the reason to the Catalan club. Jorge Messi, father of the player, gathered with the president Josep Maria Bartomeu and went out of the summit assuming that it would be very difficult that the managerial yielded and finish leaving him leave without paying his clause, of 700 million euros.

Without Luis Suárez, the new Barcelona trainer could bet for advancing the position of the Argentinian, that in the last seasons has gone moving away of the area to participate more in the preparation of the game. In this case, the '10' would receive always the balloon more near of the goal, with more options to mark, and supliendo the potential goleador of his fellow.

Leo Messi already was false '9'

With Ronald Koeman, Leo Messi would not advance his position to be a '9' pure, but would have a similar role to the that had with Pep Guardiola. In this way, to his 33 years, would suffer less wear because it would run fewer metres and would have to visit less distance to throw to door. In this way, the '10' would become a '9'.
