So as for my conversation with Flavia and FCBarca about the board singling Messi out aside from Faus incident, I read up on the media and have to say I am shocked at all the circus about wanting to sell Messi. More than likely individual agendas but with power over certain papers, the board can easily block and control what is being said, and it should be protecting Messi much more. I stand corrected. Messi just got a lot more benefit of the doubt in terms of his form and overall demeanor, as well as the pre match sickness.
