"Barcelona" defender Cesc Fabregas believes that after recovering from injury, team leader Lionel Messi was not and is not responsible for the results of the whole team. According to the Catalan, those fans who imagine that the Argentine should immediately take on the full responsibility on his shoulders when he returns to the lineup are clearly mistaken. On Friday, the "Barcelona" team held a traditional open training session at the "Mini Estadi" arena, which was watched by 13 thousand fans. During this session, the players divided into two teams and played a friendly match, in which L. Messi scored three goals. "The team returned after a restful winter break and longing for football. We are very happy that Lionel has recovered and can play again," said C. Fabregas, speaking with journalists after the match. "But it should not be thought that he alone can and should take responsibility for the whole team, especially now, just a few training sessions in. Lionel is gradually getting into optimal sporting form and he will definitely strengthen the team." Cataloni was supported by Lionel Messi's compatriot Javier Mascherano: "Lionel feels that he is ready to play. He has spoken with doctors who have monitored the entire rehabilitation process. Everything is going really well, now we need to focus, because we have a series of important matches ahead. We cannot afford to drop points."
