It can be seen that in the previous Champions League knockout rounds, Barcelona only drew 1- 1 against Naples, which gave both teams great hope of promotion. In this way, Barcelona must strive for victory on the premise that it is not safe to draw with its opponents in the second round. At present, with the countdown to the 10 Champions League about to restart, Barcelona needs to solve two major difficulties.
First of all, Barcelona seems to have only one orthodox central defender, because apart from Pique, Umtiti was injured and Langles was injured before. According to AS, Araujo, a teenager, has been injured and will miss the Napoli game for three weeks.
Obviously, Barcelona has encountered a shortage of central defenders. In addition, Barcelona will also face the thorny problem of midfielder Artur refusing to play. After all, according to RAC 1, Artur will no longer play for Barcelona, and Barcelona is also very angry about it. The two sides have already torn their faces, which is bad news for Barcelona, which is preparing for the Champions League.
Now that Barcelona has been frustrated again and again, it seems that there is only one way left for Setien, whose position as coach is in jeopardy, and that is to rely on Messi to solve the problem.
According to the Daily Sports Daily, Setien hopes that Messi can reduce the responsibility of organizing the attack, so as to save more physical strength and energy to complete the fatal blow and score more goals. Generally speaking, Setien asked Messi to do what he did eight years ago and become a super shooter again.
Imagine that in the 20 12 season, Messi scored 9 1 goal in 69 games, which also made him break the natural annual goal record of players maintained by Gadmuller! Now Barcelona coach Setin sees that the team is in trouble and will naturally turn his attention to Messi in the front line to save the team. So, do you think Setien can inspire Messi eight years ago in the Champions League?
