The captains, pending of the decision of Messi

One of the collateral effects of the Messi case is the organization of the squad in terms of leadership the same refers, which is reflected in the appointment of captains. The Argentine is, at least from the club's point of view, still the team captain, but Koeman, a pragmatic man, is already assessing what the composition of the quartet of captains should be and has chosen Gerard Piqué as the man who wears the bracelet and leads the team both on and off the pitch. In addition, if Messi's departure is confirmed, the German goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen has all the numbers to access one of the captaincies.

This last season the quartet of captains was led by Leo Messi, who inherited the bracelet from Andrés Iniesta. He was accompanied in the captaincy by Sergio Busquets, Gerard Piqué and Sergi Roberto.

Waiting to see what happens with Messi, it seems that The new coach wants Gerard Piqué to be the first captain. The central was the only one who came out to show his face after the beating of Lisbon by Bayern Munich. Together with him, Ter Stegen would win stripes, one of the most respected voices in the dressing room and that he has always shown himself willing to take a step forward in this regard.

Busquets and Sergi Roberto would continue in the quartet, but for the new coach, the main interlocutors would be the center-back and the goalkeeper as long as Messi finishes, as is his intention, away from the Camp Nou.
