The new club, Pep Guardiola is already beginning to raise passions. The preseason has already lifted the curtain and the first training set to open club has been very successful in public.

The squad was trained for two hours at the Mini Estadi, from 18.30 to 20.30 this afternoon. The main novelty of the meeting was Messi. The Argentine made his first training after having returned this afternoon from Argentina, although only half an hour in Suva field.

Guardiola had at its disposal to the 17 available first team, in addition to the seven youth squad players that will be incorporated into the stage of Scotland.

The meeting was followed by over 5,000 supporters, mostly youths, who did not stop encouraging their idols. Messi and Bojan were the most acclaimed

If confirmed its presence in beijing not dispute previous champions

The striker Leo Messi expressed his "love" with the selection argentina participate in the Olympic Games to be held next August in Beijing, but still do not know whether to attend the Olympic event, because in that case, it would lose the round Prior to the Champions League which will have to play FC Barcelona on these dates, and explained that it should talk with the leaders of the club Barca.

The selection argentina played his first match at the Games on August 7 in Shanghai, before Ivory Coast, and the first phase will end on 13 in Beijing, before Serbia, although its involvement could go on until the day 23, the date scheduled for end of the Olympic soccer competition in Beijing, while Barca will play prior to the Champions League on 12 or 13 of August (first leg) and 26 or 27 of the same month (back).

The truth is that I would like to play both, and after the Games of the Champions League. Honestly, did not expect that we would have to play prior. I'd like to do both, but we can not and we must talk to see what we do. I would love to go, but I do not know what will happen

During a press conference, the Argentine also took stock of the season and admitted that nobody in the club can be happy because they have not achieved the objectives that were marked, while appreciated that ends this weekend's championship. "When you do not get the things we set out, none is happy individually. Fortunately ends this quiet and we have to start a new year," he said.

Ronaldinho wants to return to the 'One'
Messi ensures feel "one more" for the next season, despite being has become the main reference of Barcelona before the decline of a player like Ronaldinho de Assis, and hoped that the club be able to "respond to what the public wants and celebrate titles." He also understands that there are changes in staffing, but admitted that it will "hurt" the possible introduction of "comrades and friends" of the workforce.

From the first moment I came all the team helped me a lot and they always will be grateful, and goes to be ugly when one has to go because they have been together four years, "he said. One of them will surely Ronaldinho. Messi said he does not know if you go to another club would be best for the Brazilian, but wished that what makes" is the best and once again be number one again "and that can feel" comfortable and quiet

As for the future of striker Samuel Eto'o and midfielder Anderson Luis de Souza Deco, did not comment, but acknowledged that he felt "evil" by the whistles they devoted fans of Barcelona, "because they are companions and is never nice to see that whistle to a colleague." "People know what they are doing and everyone has their opinion, hence I can not say anything, but hurt because they are colleagues," he said. Messi, finally acknowledged "sincerely" who knows "very little" which will be their new coach next season, Pep Guardiola, now a subsidiary of ténico and appointed to take over from Frank Rijkaard, but "by what they have and what they say, is a hard-working coach." In addition, felt the absence of his partner Bojan Krkic in the European Championship this summer.

The young Argentinian player did not question the alleged resignation of Bojan to contest the championship, which would have been agreed by the player with the Spanish selector Luis Aragones and with Barcelona, and showed respect "because it is their decision," but noted that "it would have been nice to be in the Euro because is a very important championship, but it is also important to continue calmly. "

Valdes, Xavi, Iniesta and Bojan will, along with Leo, the key pieces of the new project, which will also be Milito.

The Barcelona in the 2008-09 season will be built under a backbone fully consolidated. Of course the cornerstone of the new project will be Leo Messi, the player most destabilising the template Blaugrana. But it will not be alone. The Argentinian will be travelling companions to a suite of youth squad players-players who will guarantee quality, experience and Valdes-like commitment under the sticks, and Iniesta and Xavi in midfield. Bojan also be within the package of key players in the new project. And another name itself, Gaby Milito, exercise leadership in the defense.

This backbone will also feature the strengthening of three complementary players that certainly will have a very important role in the new project. We are talking about the Ivorian Yaya Toure, a player who has shown in a single year have more commitment than others who have five years or more in the entity Blaugrana. That it will take to recover from the operation herniated disk that will be submitted at the end of this season to solve their problems on the back that you have left renqueante.

Another man who will take his role will be the captain Carles Puyol, although it will seek a man of weight as an alternative in the central axis, since the low of Thuram and very possible to leave an Marquez vacancy in that position. Finally, Abidal would also have a place in the banda left.

Thus, the priorities of the technical secretariat focus on a right side, a central, a left side, a defensive pivot, a midfielder, a striker and a left end. There is no doubt that all this will mean a significant investment, but at least we have already large crack.

Leo Messi is beginning to know each other. Good news. The Argentine noticed cramps in the area of isquiotibiales and said enough

Requested change and Rijkaard is not thought twice before giving entry to Bojan. Although the'19 'requested more time, 90 minutes remaining key at Old Trafford and there, in Manchester, Messi will be decisive.

While on the pitch, the striker did not stop trying to create holes in the defense of the 'Red Devils'. We tested with walls, driblando individually, with long passes, with centres. He did everything he could to break a pace that was unwavering. But the best news is that he saw with much more pace than in previous encounters. And that, for the round of the semifinals, may be key. If Messi is well at Old Trafford if he can finish the encounter, Barca will have a good chance of playing the final in Moscow. Yesterday only tried a shot, unfortunate, but his football again encourage the tier and, most importantly, the team. While he played almost all the balls went through their boots. His colleagues believe in him and know that is his greatest asset. So we must seize it. His change few people understood this, but what was he himself who asked. With him on the field the last half hour could be different, but this is mourning two parties and The finalist will play from that day 29. There will be.

The Barça sees no door. And one of its greatest exponents is Messi. The Argentine Pichichi was in the early days of League door watching with great ease. But he stayed stuck in the day thirteen.

Rijkaard clung to the Argentine to alleviate the great evil of Barcelona, the lack of scoring. It should be borne in mind that the team reached Sánchez Pizjuán with the baggage poorest of recent times, four goals in five matches, and that Messi is currently the footballer who is more in the form of staffing culé. But it seems to have been infected by the lack of success of the classroom. The attacker does not hold somewhat since last November 24, when it marked the Recreativo. Since then, are two and a half months without scoring.

Without Etoo without Bojan, with Ronaldinho on the bench the first part and with a lot of casualties, Rijkaard was forced to set up eleven with many changes and a significant change tactics. When more normal seemed that he was going to be a triplet attacker with Messi, Henry and Iniesta, the technician decided to align Giovanni despite his jet-lag, forcing Messi playing as a centre forward for the Mexican occupy your position natural and Henry could act on the left, where else is paying.

The demarcation Messi also led to a lack of understanding with Henry, as many times the two were at the centre of the attack culé. The usual permutations position among front barcelonistas not occurred and Giovanni were not separated from the band right.
