Leo Messi He has decided to abandon prudence and has opted to take sides. In this case, against a Eric Abidal with whom I shared costumes in the Camp Nou and that he currently serves as the technical secretary of the Barcelona entity. Some controversial statements of the French to the Sport newspaper, in which he blamed the staff of the dismissal of Ernesto Valverde, were the trigger.

Many players were not satisfied or worked hard, the former player said. A statement that was met with a strong response from the captain through social networks. Honestly, I don't like doing these things, but I think everyone has to be responsible for their tasks and take care of your decisions. The players, what happens on the court, and we are also the first to recognize when we were not well. Those responsible for the area of ​​sports management also they must assume their responsibilities and, above all, take charge of the decisions they make, Messi replied.

Finally, I think, when talking about players, we will have to give names, because if we are not getting all dirty and feeding things that are said and that they are not true, sentenced the Argentine star of Bara. A few words that, surely, further weaken Abidal's already delicate position at the head of the technical secretariat of the club, no matter how much in recent days it has been tried to stage that the French enjoy maximum support. Very especially, by the president, a Josep Maria Bartomeu that he had no problem when it came to seeing him in the sports city Joan Gamper last Monday.

The close of the past winter market, in which there were several departures from the club and there was no signing, despite the prolonged injury of Luis Surez, already questioned his role. Very especially, after that Cdric Bakambu I joked openly on the internet with an arrival at Camp Nou that could have been and was not. Even with a rocambolesco journey in between.

For a long time, Josep Maria Bartomeu defended Ernesto Valverde as, in his words, the ideal coach to drive the transition of Bara in a generational relay that is becoming more and more imperative. The defeat of the team against him Atletico de Madrid, in one of the semifinals of the Spanish Supercup that took place in Saudi Arabia, however, I ended up precipitating the departure of a technician who found an at all undisputed hostility by Saudi fans. An attitude that, for several months, also had several followers in the Barca environment.

Bartomeu himself wanted to emphasize the presentation of Quique Setin as a new coach that l bet to keep Valverde after the defeats harvested in Anfield against the Liverpool, in the Champions, and in the Cup final, against Valencia, although it also slipped that the relay on the bench had long matured with the former technician. Now, Abidal has targeted the players. Y Messi did not want to remain silent.

Ousmane DemblOn the other hand, he may have already said goodbye to what remains of the season. The French striker, according to the club yesterday, suffers a rupture of the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris of the right leg and may be about three and a half months off. This is the tenth injury suffered by the player since his arrival at Camp Nou.

The situation of the French player joins the multiple problems of the Barca club, which has not signed in the winter market. The new coach supported the decision of the board and argued that the return of Dembl will be the great reinforcement of Barcelona for the final leg of the course.

It's about the ninth lesin of the striker in the two years and a half he has been in Barcelona. He has not played since last December 27 and has already lost 61 games. Missing at 19 ms if the severity of the new mishap is confirmed.
