How much he desires this special comeback, he showed in his latest interview with Sport, where the Blaugrana manager expressed the opinion that the Argentine world champion is a perfect match for “Barca” and that he still is on the pitch be leading . and hungry for success.
“Without a doubt, Messi can still help us. He can play many positions. He has also reached the point of becoming a midfielder. He may have lost some of his explosiveness, but we saw him at the recent World Cup. He still has years ahead of him.
I always talk to Messi. I also spoke to Laporta and his return makes sense to me. He’s still a winner, a leader and a hungry footballer.stressed Xavi, adding: “He is perfect for our system. It’s up to Leo, he’s the one who decides, everything depends on him.”
