The tricks that City believe they play in their favor with Messi

Messi has never been a friend of media noise and one of the great candidates to get the Argentine star out of the Camp Nou, Manchester City, takes hold of this. The seismic movement caused by the interest of PSG in Leo, cover of 'France Football' and statements by Leonardo, Pochettino or Di María through, is still very present, the route plan is marked, but from Manchester they do not forget the Rosario and will return to the load in March or April, according to 'ESPN'.

Interest is not new citizen, although the aggressiveness of the recent arrival dates from Paris towards Leo seemed to have changed the course of the operation. However, several sources consulted by the aforementioned medium indicate that, simply, the tactic used by the English is very different from that of the Parisians, fleeing from the foreground of the media and working in the shadows. In short, in the Etihad they have not stopped chipping stones in search of the precious material.

Remember that Last summer, when Messi's burofax shook the footballing planet, it was the Mancunians who came closest to hunting the prey. And they did it through a tactic similar to the current one, from the background in which the protagonist moves much more comfortably. As they well remember on 'ESPN', Guardiola played a fundamental role in those negotiations, talking to the Blaugrana to explain the project that awaited him if the change of scenery crystallized. A project that from England has been exposed as a '10-year Plan' in which they would allow Messi to be an ambassador skyblue and retire to another City Football Group (CFG) club. New York City? The player already commented to Jordi Évole that he would like to play in the United States …

Collect fruits

Further, those seeds planted in summer have continued to grow to this day, since the mentioned sources affirm that from the City they have continued to water the plant, maintaining a constant relationship with the environment of our protagonist. Last summer, Bartomeu did not allow his player to leave for less than the 700 million that appeared in his termination clause, this reason for a collision with Messi himself for not understanding the contract in the same way.

Nevertheless, now the game has changed, since Leo is free to negotiate, at the end of his relationship with the club of his life at the end of the course. Messi has not spoken out about other people's interests. In fact, he has made it clear that until the elections take place and he talks with the winning candidate and he presents his roadmap, he will not make a decision. So, March 7, when the electoral process will take place, is the date indicated in red as far as the future of the Argentine is concerned. The City's intentions to wait until March or April are obviously not accidental …

Guardiola factor

Leo already knows the modus operandi by Guardiola. Patience and a plan for the future are not the only weights in the balance, since having renewed the coach until 2023 already filled the heavenly fans with enthusiasm for the crucial role that Santpedor could play in the operation. When the new contract was barely signed, the British tabloids were filled with a common request for Pep: “Get Messi (get Messi)”. The player himself already fondly reminded him in the aforementioned interview with Évole: “It has something special about it. It makes you see things in a way …how he prepared the matches, how he prepared them defensively, where to attack. “Together, they formed a perfect symbiosis in the 219 games that shared a shield. 211 goals, 91 assists, an endless number of joys in Can Barça that now the parish citizen want to revive.
