This is the reason by which Messi was acting in front of the Athletic Club

After two tropiezos consecutive in LaLiga Santander, Ernesto Valverde did several changes in the alignment of the FC Barcelona to play against the Athletic Club in the seventh day. The most sounded of all was the one of Leo Messi, that remained in the bench for the first time in official party in the present season.

According to the informations of Sportive World, the Argentinian star does not have any physical problem and his suplencia is due to a technical decision. Ernesto Valverde is conscious that it needs to Leo Messi in full form during all the season and wants to go giving him punctual rests to avoid his wear during the season. In front of the Athletic, went the first.

Leo Messi has already 31 years and, in spite of that his level of game has not gone down in any appearance, yes that it is necessary to be conscious that his physicist has to take care increasingly. Thus, so much he like Ernesto Valverde are conscious that it can not play it all and has to rest in some parties of the season.

The advantage of Leo Messi in this campaign is that it will not play international crashes with the selection of Argentina, reason by which will save tired trips and minutes of game in his legs in the days of international stops. The '10' wants to centre in the FC Barcelona and wants to lead a team that go back to struggle by everything.

In the present season, still had not remained out of the team in any meeting until the Athletic Club did not visit the Camp Nou. In front of this, players like Philippe Coutinho or Luis Suárez had to take out to relucir his chevrons to lead to the picture culé in an at all simple party, against a rival that already took him out a tie to the Real Madrid.

Sergio Busquets, also acting

Another of the intocables that finally remained in the bench was Sergio Busquets. The midfield player of Badia also begins to be veteran and has to preserve his physical state with the aim to arrive to the one hundred by one hundred to the decisive stretches of the season. As that the Catalan goes in in the plans of Luis Enrique for the selection, his rests with the Barça will be more usual that the ones of Messi or Jordi Alba.
