[Sport] FC Barcelona: Illusive or disappoint Messi: that is the question

[#Steeven.™]

Barcelona is in free fall. At least in the League where they are far behind the leader after having left 16 points in ten games. Some numbers that Barça did not harvest since the 80's of last century. As is often the case in many similar cases, the sights are directed towards its great star. Leo Messi is the focus of Barcelona. Many insist on blaming him for all the ills of the team and almost of the club. It is clear that the Argentine is not having his best season, but from there to blame him for the team's progress is a long way off.

Barça fans should ask themselves if they really want to excite Leo Messi to try to reverse his decision to leave, or, on the contrary, prefer to give him arguments to keep him there. Many times the enemy seems to be in the same house. Instead of rowing in the same direction, each one goes his own way in search of his particular interests.

This week it was Carles Tusquets who shook the club with misplaced statements. The acting president wanted to become the protagonist. In a statement to Rac-1 he said that economically it would have been good to sell Messi. Regardless of whether he could be right, something very debatable on the other hand, what does not seem logical is that the fan starts again from within. There was no need to poke around the wound.

Tusquets must be controlled. Its function is to call elections and little else. Giving interviews and getting into issues as thorny as this are out of place when the club's situation is so delicate in all aspects. Messi at this moment still has the idea of leaving in mind. And the words of the acting president only reaffirmed this thought.

Last Saturday's game didn't help either. It was a new step back at the sports level. And one of the most powerful arguments for Leo to stay is for the team to compete for the titles. The League begins to be lost. It is true that there is much left, but the difference begins to be enormous. And the worst thing is that the sensations that the team transmits do not venture a quick and miraculous recovery.

And now the only thing missing was that Messi be held responsible for the ills of the team when there are other factors of enormous weight. Many argue that Bartomeu is gone and that Leo should change. However, Bartomeu's legacy is still present. The bad sports planning, which now weighs on the team in the center of defense, is the work of the former president who was also vice president of sports.

The impossibility of signing due to the chaotic economic situation is also Bartomeu's responsibility. There is no euro in the box and you cannot go to the winter market unless players are sold. And the agitated institutional environment with elections in which all the candidates, who are nine, do not stop talking about Messi and how to make him stay, does not help either.

If they really want Messi to stay at Barcelona, this is the moment to excite the footballer and not to disappoint him. Today the chances of him staying with all the events that the club lives are minimal.
