As in the last Copa América, when Lionel Messi appeared after each match played by Argentina, the captain of Barcelona appeared in the mixed zone of Camp Nou after his first full match this season. The 10 was injured in the soleus of the right leg in the first pre-season training, a problem he suffered when he was close to rejoining. Messi's absence was extended. When he returned, last week to Villarreal, he suffered an elongation in his left thigh. Before Inter, he could dispute the duel from beginning to end. “I'm glad I played 90 minutes, I really wanted to. I felt good, obviously tired in the end. I wanted to start at once. As the games go I will release more. During the year, as we play every three days we cannot train hard and I am used to keeping up with the matches, ”Messi explained.

The captain was calm before the microphones. He sent a message of calm to the environment. “We're fine, it was important to win today. The important thing is to talk about today's victory, that of Getafe. It is basic so that the mess is not generated when there is no football, ”said Messi. He bargained the controversy on 10 after Piqué and Josep Maria Bartomeu met on Tuesday to clarify the differences between the staff and the Barcelona board. The club president, according to Esport3, explained to the Barca center that the board has not orchestrated any campaign against the players. This was stated by Piqué after the League match against Getafe, last Saturday.

"We know the club, we know the newspapers that are related to the club, we know the articles that come out and many times we know who writes them even if someone else signs them," said the Barca defender in the mixed zone of the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, after he I asked him about the dinner the players had celebrated three days before. "I didn't organize it, but they always go well," he added. “We have to be all together, not only the players, also the fans, the board of directors. I already said it in Pamplona. ” And he insisted: “When two don't want to get angry, there's no discussion. We have to keep the club together because if we don't hurt ourselves. ”

Piqué sought to unite the club with Bartomeu and rescue the team at Camp Nou against Inter. In the changing room tunnel, before jumping into the field in the second half, the center and Messi encouraged their teammates. "We press or we go up, what we cannot do is an intermediate of both," explained the Catalan defender. "Don't worry, let's not go crazy, guys, we're going to push harder," Messi asked. The words of the 10 corroborate the tactical correction of Valverde in the rest. “He has told us to be more orderly when pressing. That's why we have the coach, to correct those mistakes, ”said Luis Suarez. “At rest you have to see things that are not working well and what can be improved. In the second half we have taken a step forward and we have solved its cons, which hurt us, ”added Valverde.

Complicated group

"In the second half, when we stand better and play with more head, we handle the game better," Messi explained. The captain underlined the importance of the victory after the draw against Borussia Dortmund. “We needed to win. It is a complicated group, winning at home is very important. It cost because Inter is a great team, ”said the 10. And concluded:“ We knew we were having a difficult time. If you see in Europe, it happens to all the big teams. It is perhaps because of the preseason, but it is not a criticism. We are a bit heavy. It is not critical to anyone, it is a reality. It is understandable that the club makes those matches. They are made by all teams. ”
