THE ASTRO VOLVIÓ ARGENTINA TO PLAY WITH THEIR TEAM TO THE RECREATION

The Argentine Lionel Messi, one of the great stars of Barcelona, returned to play in the Spanish League after more than a month away from the competition and was the New Colombino stadium, in Huelva, the scene of his reappearance.

Messi began in the dock of the match against the alternate Recreation, for the thirty-second time, but jumped into the field of play at 64 minutes, replacing Mexican Giovani, when the team he coaches Frank Rijkaard expired by 1-2.

Argentine striker disputaba not an encounter garter belts since March 1, before the Atletico Madrid. Four days later, before the Celtic of Glasgow, suffered a muscle injury that has been almost forty days away from the playgrounds.

The main objective is to Messi ready for the match round of the semifinals of the Champions League that Barcelona will play against Manchester United at the Camp Nou, the next April 23.

Messi was the real hero in Glasgow. The Argentine was the author of two of the three goals that made him Barcelona to Celtic (2-3)

The Barça play of the fourth Champions inter alia because it showed in Glasgow that is infinitely better than the rugged and willing Celtic. Also because won with a remarkable collective action (2-3), two of many Messi, and top scorer of the competition and the best Ronaldinho minutes too long.

Despite the authority visitor, there were a couple of scares, two blizzards that made Scottish shake the foundations of Celtic Park and the ever-voluble personality azulgrana. Two cabezazos after centres from the left that led to book[+]

There will be revolution in Celtic Park if Rijkaard gives continuity to the tactic that tested yesterday behind closed doors.

Frank Rijkaard used yesterdays training behind closed doors to rehearse tactics without Leo Messi as the holder for the party tomorrow at Celtic Park. The body of technical Barcelona is assessing the possibility of submitting an alignment in Glasgow with more troops in the center of the field and ensure that the possession of the ball bearing in mind that always subtracted 90 minutes per play at the Camp Nou.

The alternative cover for the possible absence of Messi would be among the return to the team Iniesta, who was an alternate and did not dispute any time in the match last Saturday in Zaragoza or dotrar much more muscle to the team and give input to Eidur Gudjohnsen , as a surprise. Significantly, when Barcelona visited Glasgow last November to face the Rangers, and was the Icelandic player was used as a tool to compensate for the thrust of the British.

Messi, neither has been very lucid in recent matches of the Barcelona as a visitor and there has been some depletion of the Argentine, who since returning from his injury has not had an opportunity to make a gradual integration team. Proof of this is that it has been replaced in the final leg of the last meetings of Barcelona.

Therefore, if the tests conducted behind closed doors yesterday were satisfactory, Barcelona could appear at Celtic Park with a pattern more similar to 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that when the front would be formed by Thierry Henry and Samuel Etoo, who thus returns to the team owner after his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

For the first time in a long time, Frank Rijkaard go to a meeting with the vast majority of their troops available, which increases the possible alignments. The fact that the meeting tomorrow will be the first act of an eliminatory scheduled to return merely increase the uncertainty concerning the possible team that could present the technician Dutch.

It seems certain that the defense, how well is carburando, is not going to vary. Valdes is untouchable as a goalkeeper in front of you will be aligned Puyol, Milito, Marquez and Abidal. A solid defence that can cope with the ordeal he intends to submit to the Celtic blaugrana through the air balls.

In this aspect of the game will be fundamental physical Yaya Toure in the centre of the field. When African fichó him to the stature in Europe and put Barcelona in the physical level of the great European teams.

The accompanying Yaya Toure depend largely on whether the evidence yesterday of a Barça without Leo Messi proved entirely satisfactory.

The substitution of Iniesta in La Romareda may suggest that Rijkaard thought in reserve to come to Scotland rested. If Rijkaard finally chooses to align four centrocampistas Deco and Xavi seems that they have more numbers, unless Guddy return to the team owner, rather than Deco.

Barça beat Rangers with goals from Henry and Messi

The consumption of beer in the Scottish fans these days through the center of Barcelona has been inversely proportional to the game displayed Wednesday by the Rangers in the Camp Nou. Barça has passed the team from Glasgow, 2-0 in a remarkable game that has contrasted with the low voltage visitors.

The defensive wall that had announced Walter Smith has endured only five minutes, just the time it has taken in Thierry Henry take a combination of Ronaldinho and Messi. The French have gone everywhere after a rejection of the Argentine and has deflated the strategy visitor. The image of the Rangers has been very poor while the azulgrana have distinguished for their combinations and game equipment.

The script Rijkaard has been fulfilled because it was important to mark early and dominate the match. Barça with the first goal has not flojeado and has continued its efforts in shares of Iniesta, Ronnie and Xavi, who have had several occasions. In minute 42, who seeks to get the luck. Messi has scored the second after collecting both of McGregor to reject the draft of Ronaldinho.

In the second part, Barça has dropped a little but its pace of the game has continued to enjoy occasions with a rival who refused to play with practically their poverty of resources. Until the Rangers fans, who had vociferado for hours in the vicinity of Camp Nou, have been left without a voice for the second half after the effectiveness azulgrana.

The fright at the second time he has given Iniesta in the 47 that had been lying on the pitch after only injured in a game of pressure. Minutes later, the youth squad player has returned to the turf without too many problems. Already in warming the Mexican Marquez has suffered a new overload muscle and the technical team has decided to play alongside Thuram Milito in the axis of the defense.

Barcelona could have expanded the result if the shares in the attack had succeeded. In 63 Xavi has done a great outside shooting that has left almost touching the network, which has caused a segment of the audience sang goal. Three minutes later, there is a great combination of Xavi, Henry and Messi, which has ruled the incomprehensibly auction.

With this result Barcelona is leader of Group E after the victory Wednesday by 2-0 to Glasgow Rangers in a game in which Cesc Fàbregas, the Arsenal player in the bleachers of the stadium azulgrana, there must be annotated how plays whole Rijkaard.

Leo is happening today, and although a test on the list among the technician not decide until the last minute whether it makes owner

Frank Rijkaard thinks very seriously the possibility of reserving Leo Messi face of the party before the Almería. The crack Argentine returned from Glasgow with an overload of adductores both Thursday and yesterday trained as part of the group and without touching the ball. Perhaps Leo among today in the call. Before, you must pass a final test in the preparatory meeting that the team azulgrana conducted in camera to the press, at the Camp Nou. However, the fact that Messi came in the call that was specifically not mean playing in the ownership morning to Almería. His condition and the risk of suffering an injury recommend that the technical ultimísima time to wait until tomorrow to decide whether or not the 11 initial measured at the Andalusian team.

Summit Rijkaard-Pruna
Yesterday, Frank Rijkaard commented on the state of Messi with the doctor Ricard Pruna, head doctor at the first team azulgrana. Both talked on the grass of La Masia, while Messi be exercised part of the group and to the orders of recuperating Josep Antoni Pozanco. Today, the idea of Rijkaard and doctors is not to risk.

Messi is the player most in the form of the lead and losing it would be dramatic. Therefore, it is possible that it will enter into the list and that only plays depending on the outcome.
