Piqué's request to Messi that the Argentine refused to comply

A new stellar name went out to the light this Tuesday in the audios published by 'The Confidential' in where Gerard Hammered and Luis Rubiales, president of the Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF) scheduled the format, commissions and other details related with the Supercopa of Spain, tournament that at present contests in Arabia. According to the fragments of the conversation desvelados the Tuesday, the central of the FC Barcelona wanted to have Leo Messi like image to promote project.

I hammered it wanted to presionar to the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) with a video in which all the captains of the Barça invited to modify the calendar to make the Supercopa of Spain in January and no in August, as it contested until 2018. "Have to Leo behind also that it goes it to command a video and everything, or was that from the Barça could it to him say like a message of all the captains", explains the defender of 35 years in the audio.

In this sense, Rubiales answered him to Hammered: "Then , condition him a poquito. Do not condition him, but say him 'look, go you to mensar the mine video, also the one of Leo and such...", it said the president of the RFEF. However, as the published by 'SPORT' through next sources to the footballer, the video starred by the Argentinian never recorded , probably because Leo denied or because finally it was not necessary the 'pressure' to the AFE, since the calendar modified for the season 2019-20 and the Supercopa played in Arabia in January, as I Hammered scheduled it.

Finally, so much Messi like the others captains of the Barça in that then rid of the video, with which remain outside of the controversy that has desatado the leak of the audios in which gestó the new Supercopa of Spain, a tournament that, with his current format, the group directed by Xavi Hernández has not attained to win. The blaugranas obtained his last Supercopa in 2018 in Morocco in front of the Seville (2-1), split in which they annotated Hammered and Ousmane Dembélé.

The Barça, forced to finish second to contest the next Supercopa

With the title of LaLiga practically sentenced in hands of the Real Madrid, to the FC Barcelona only remains him the option to finish like escort of the 'merengues' to contest the next edition of the Supercopa Spanish. Betis And Valencia have ensured his participation in the tournament like finalists of the Glass of Rey, while the another fit is reserved for the champion of League.

Unless the Betis finish like second qualifier, any different team to the escort of the Madrid in the leadership will be able to travel to Arabia in January to contest the competition contrived by Hammered. In this way, for the Barça, be runner-up of League in this season has a value much more there of the honour. Of course, the main aim of the culés is to finish between the four first to ensure, at least, his presence in the next Champions League.
