10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Indian Barca]

Messi will join the squad at the team hotel tonight. Tomorrow more tests, but he felt good at training this evening. #fcblive #ucl [tv3]

Would make sense if Messi started on the bench. Of course only if he was ready for that.

 

[Youngie]

"feeling good" hardly means "going to start"...

Anyway if Messi wants to start then good for him. He's in charge

 

[Fourteen]

Forget it. He won't make it. Youngie has spoken.

And apparently he's NOT in charge.

 

[Youngie]

And apparently he's NOT in charge.

Right so Messi is the team doctor/physio and head coach now?

 

[Fourteen]

Yes...What aren't you understanding about this?

Nah, all i'm saying is that he is a highly influential member of Barca as I'm sure you know. To the degree where if it was Song saying "I want to play" the reply would be "Shut up Song and sit down", but if Messi says it, the reply would be "Are you sure?". Naturally he can approach the discussion from a more favourable point and convince the doctors and management that he can play some part. But only in these 50/50 examples, I'm not talking about a serious injury.

 

[Youngie]

Didn't you just say Messi was "in charge"?

He doesn't want Ronaldo to get that record. Demolish them, Messi!

 

[Gaines10]

What record???

 

[Stric]

What record???

This season's CL top scorer, probably.

 

[ThwiX]

What record???

14 goals in a single Champions League season. Ronaldo has 11.

In fairness messi has had 4 in a row so he was going to be beaten eventually. Messi will still have more CL top scorer awards.
