A month after his departure to China, Messi again put under the command of Pep Guardiola as Olympic champion

Barca get their stars for the League

A month ago scarce, Barcelona and Messi lived a situation radically different from what yesterday was staged on the lawn of the estate. By then, Argentina called for the incorporation of a Barca player to Olympic team that was already concentrated in China.

Barcelona, called the right to try to impose Sports his judgement and the player lived a situation of tension hardly sustainable. This scenario, had nothing to do with the image that was yesterday when Messi was able to return to train with the team after missing 29 days. What could have been a crisis of confidence with unpredictable consequences ended yesterday culminate in a happy reunion.

As the Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola in Florence before leaving the tour of the United States in which Leo did not participate, "we hope that when it does come back happy and content with the gold medal round his neck. We you will receive with open arms because we are stronger with him. " And so it happened yesterday.

The return of Messi represents a strengthening of luxury for a team that knew how to do duties when his star was absent (qualify for the Champions) and that within four days can not fail in his visit to Soria in the first game of the season.

Messi arrives grateful to the club and committed to the full. The proof of their satisfaction is evident in statements that the Argentine made from China. "Thanks Barca, Pep thanks for giving me the chance to play this competition and fulfill my dream. I have helped a lot," said Leo nothing else placed under orders Sergio Batista and then repeated it after winning gold to Nigeria.

Of his commitment, nor doubt. The Argentine, after the final, not stayed in China to attend the closing ceremony, nor was the rest of his team to Argentina to be received as heroes. What was finishing his final shot and go out to Barcelona where he arrived last Sunday ready to cooperate in whatever.

The first thing we did was collect their mates and his coach and, with medal in hand, to thank the effort. Later, in private conversation with the technician, offered to travel to Krakow on Monday, despite beating the plane that accumulated.

Guardiola thanked him for the gesture, but opted to stay in Barcelona to overcome the jet-lag. " While his companions were in Poland, Leo was exercised on Tuesday along with Victor Sanchez and Juanjo Brau, the person who knows best the functioning of the body's best player in the world.

It was not until yesterday afternoon when the Argentine was able to reunite with the entire group. This team has done that while duties in the Champions while he was leading Argentina in Beijing, recognized as the leader who must pull the car in the remainder of the season.

Messi, as said Guardiola, has returned to Barcelona bigger than it was. And that is an asset that must Barcelona seized.

His triumph in the decisive participation of Argentina in the Olympic Games, coupled with the actions he did during last shot at Leo as a strong candidate to triumph in the dispute of the "Golden Ball" this year.

At the end of the season, seemed sung that Cristiano Ronaldo would be the candidate for the maximum award which rewards the best player in the world, but if facing irrelevant Euro Luso and the injury that still keeps him away from the playgrounds with the impressive participation in the Barcelona Games, it seems obvious that Leo is gaining ground at Manchester United player.

Therefore, the most experienced yesterday one day joyful. The crack Messi returned to training with his colleagues to pull the car. The crack is back home.

The last Argentine striker aware that its preparation will be key to Manchester United

Leo Messi will have to win the Champions League. The Argentine striker, who was injured just over a month returned to the playgrounds in Huelva last Saturday playing a few minutes and Now hopes to refine his state of form before the Espanyol to arrive in perfect condition and against Manchester United. And is that the Argentine has a pending account with the highest European competition since two years ago losing the final leg of the competition which culminated in the end of Saint-Denis.

Facing elimination in the semifinals of the Champions League Messi has emerged as the great hope blaugrana. At the wrong time of the team, the return of Argentine looms as a wild card for Rijkaard to bend to the whole English, which seems to assume a priori Role of favorite.

"I do not think that I will be the great hope of Barcelona. At the moment I am thinking recover fully and in the party before the Espanyol, which is also very important. Clearly, the elimination against Manchester United is a very important meeting, "said.

Regarding the chances of Barcelona towards conquering the title of League, Leo Messi not lost hope.

For the Argentine striker, "Everything still can happen, We have to go to Madrid to play and if we arrive at a safe distance everything can be in our hands. To see whether this time is for us to get closer to the leader. "

One of the things that focus the attention of the next duel between Barcelona and Manchester United is that the confrontation on the field of play that kept read Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two most desequilibrantes front of the world, but not barcelonista takes it as a duel Staff.

"This will be a match between Manchester United and Barcelona, not a game between Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. We know it will be a very tough encounter and that apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a special player and is in a state of grace, Manchester has many players of a very high level. They are a great team, but if we are well, we are a great team, "said Messi. However, the Argentine wanted to focus more on The match against Espanyol, which said that "we are not what we as a party or a gathering of warming before the event in Europe. We remember what happened last season and we are keen to give it a joy to our people. "

After the partys Bacelona before the Deportivo de la Coruna, where Leo Messi was noticeably tired saw the miste to desidido give a respite to a Leo let alone a match in the Champions momentous.

Leo Messi not played this Wednesday from the final day of the first phase of the Champions League before the German Stuttgart, inconsequential game in which Barcelona is not playing anything because it already has secured a spot in the second round as first of its group. The Argentine rest for the next League duels against Valencia and Real Madrid, thus avoiding additional risk that is sanctioned for the first match of the Round of Champions, being apercibido penalty.
