L.Enrique: "We are dependent on L.Messi"

"Barcelona" team coach Luis Enrique emphasized the role of forward Lionel Messi in the team. This season, the 29-year-old Argentine has already scored 35 goals for the Catalan club. "It would be naive to think that we are not dependent on the best player on the planet. I hope it will be this way for many years to come. I always see him playing in the attacking line, although sometimes Messi, in order to help us, spends a fair amount of time in the center of the field. No matter where he plays - everything depends on the player's physical form," said L. Enrique. "I don't like to talk about specific matches - you just need to look at the overall view of the season. And the football years are not over yet". The coach also spoke about the "La Liga" match against "Sporting Gijon" team that will take place on Wednesday. "Speaking as a professional, our goal is one - three points. Looking from a personal perspective, I have been a fan of "Sporting" since birth and I wish them all the best", said the graduate of the Chichon academy. He confirmed that in the match, perhaps injured players Arda Turan and Javier Mascherano will already appear.
