Messi, shot to the Super Cup

Messi this fired. The Argentine has signed a week as in the old times. Two doublets, one in San Mamés and another in Los Cármenes, who have joined that great game of Valladolid in which he said goodbye to the year with good feelings, and who intuit a new Argentine renaissance. Perhaps the most unexpected of all. Messi is already the top scorer of LaLiga (11). After a beginning of the season in which he lost his sights and found it difficult to find the goal, he has regained precision. In San Mamés scored two goals and could make six. He crashed two balls into the wood, another goal was disallowed for an offside of centimeters and another ball went by millimeters. To go one step further, in Pomegranate marked his first direct kick goal after 71 fouls looking for him.

But beyond the goals, everything is fine in Messi. Not only has recovered goals. Also, and always in his style, leadership. His gestural language has been that of a player who has regained optimism for weeks. “From the first training, I've never been unhappy nor worried about him “, Koeman specified at the press conference after the Los Cármenes game. Messi looks so good that, after resigning away from home in 2020, fed up with everything as it seemed, has been decisive and he has been the captain in tough games, where the cold is pressing and it is less comfortable to play. his participation has been key in Valladolid, Huesca, Bilbao or Granada. And that has a lot of meaning. Regardless of what Messi decides with his future, the episode of the burofax is forgotten. But, in addition, it gives the feeling that Messi has returned to find happiness in the field and be comfortable again with what go from your team. With the new de Jong, with his connection with Pedri, the recovery of Busquets and the good feelings of Griezmann. So relaxed that gladly accepted Koeman's change at Los Cármenes in the 65th minute despite the fact that he could have fattened his scoring account against a somewhat broken Granada.

Devourer of titles, the finest Messi of the year is presented with the first opportunity this week in Andalusia. Despite not winning LaLiga or reaching the final (not yet played in the Cup), the Barça is in the Spain Supercup as second in the championship last season. Messi is the player with the most titles in history of Barcelona (34) And when it seemed that perhaps the account was going to stop (in fact he was about to leave), the Argentinian is back. And wanting to raise a glass again. At this point, anyone would seem to Barça “beautiful and desired”.
