“Barcelona“ club coach Ronald Koeman revealed to the publication “Sport“ his first conversations with the team leader Lionel Messi. According to the Dutchman, he tried to understand the superstar. “Messi seemed to me like a man who wants to win and continue to be the best on the field, even if he has problems with the team. “Barcelona“ was, is, and will always be a better team with Lionel than without him. When I arrived, I was told that the Argentine was unhappy. We talked at the player's house and the forward laid out all the reasons. I was open and told him that only the system, his place on the field, and his importance to the team depend on me. I couldn't solve his problems with the club. L. Messi had problems in the summer, but since then he has returned to training looking very good. In some matches, Lionel cannot boast of success and does not demonstrate his usual level, but I am convinced that by the end of the season he will have his usual number of goals in his arsenal“, - clarified the Dutchman.
