Concern in Barcelona and Argentina . Two football hobbies united by a star: Leo Messi .
The Argentine star is among cottons. After several days of muscle discomfort, it has finally been ruled out for the friendly against Spain.
A few days ago already lost the Argentina-Italy that took the members of the albiceleste. Messi witnessed the meeting from the stands with his friend and teammate Sergio Agüero.
Both had fun from the top of Etihad Stadium , while an army of flashes surrounded them to leave the game in the background.
Weeks, even months ago, that Messi drags small pains. The adductors are especially depleted and the hamstrings are also bothersome .
In the last matches he played with Barça, he was already seen leading the English zone on several occasions. Still, it was used thoroughly against Chelsea and Athletic Club.
Messi has called for calm both the people of Argentina and their fans in the Camp Nou. He just wants to be careful because the season is at stake.
Ernesto Valverde already spoke with the Argentine about this situation before the stoppage of selections. There is a plan outlined so that Messi does not play everything.
Messi has a pact with Valverde
A strategy that has reached the ears of Cristiano Ronaldo , more ambitious than ever in front of goal because he knows that it is his moment to snatch the Pichichi from Messi.
The star of Real Madrid has understood that Messi's pains are more serious than people think. And that, if the brake is not put on, the Champions and the World Cup are in danger.
The pact with Valverde happens because Messi plays only the most important league matches . But the Rosario will miss, possibly, several of the trips to play in the opposite field.
While the income of points of the Athletic one is superior to 10 points - in these moments it is of 11 - the alarms do not have to shoot. The important thing is that Messi can play the Champions League.
Valverde has found the best version of his most expensive signings in recent games: Coutinho and Dembelé are already responding.
With them, Barça must show that they have enough equipment to solve the league commitments in which Messi does not appear . They must take a step forward.
Argentina, the World Cup
In the club they do not want to take risks. And in Argentina either. They know that between all they must pamper the 10 so that it finiquite its historical year: the triplet and the World Cup.
In the selection of Jorge Sampaoli they are very excited. The match against Spain is seen as a preparatory test, but Argentina really reserves for the World Cup.
It will be then when they show their cards and tell the world that they have traveled to Russia with the intention of winning. Now, they are more of covered. And Sampaoli needs to test many players.
Ronaldo, who has been dosing for three seasons to get in top form to the decisive stage, knows that Messi intends to do the same.
Now it will lower the pace and focus on the Champions, a competition that Cristiano has between his eyebrows. And, then, he will do everything possible to reach the World Cup in top form , where they will also be rivals.
But you must take care of those adductors . It is a very delicate area of the body and, when they are really damaged, make it very difficult to carry out explosive actions. And Messi's game is talent and explosiveness.
