Barcelona Predicted Will be Troubled Without Lionel Messi

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi is a player that cannot be doubted because he is one of the few best mainstay in Barcelona’s squad over the last decade so that the term Messidependencia appears. But this is believed to have a bad impact for El Barca in the future.

Together with Messi, Barcelona successfully asserted themselves as one of the best teams in Europe and even the world. This can be seen from the achievements recorded by the Blaugrana in the last ten years where there have been trophies both in domestic and intercontinental.

Barcelona until now is still very dependent on Messi’s magical performance. The Argentine national team player is also a mainstay in scoring affairs despite the figures of Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann.

This season alone Messi is still able to score 24 goals and 16 assists for Barcelona in all competitions. Though La Pulga has begun to enter the final phase of his career because he is now already 32 years old.

But it was considered a danger signal by Ronald Koeman. The former Barcelona player is worried that his former club would be troubled when Messi’s performance decreases due to age or hanging shoes.

“Leo (Messi) is the best of all time, and in several ways. But he is also human and cannot always solve all problems,” Koeman said when interviewed by Sport.

“Barca must prepare themselves to live without him gradually. Without Messi, nothing will be the same and they must be able to overcome that.”

Koeman was predicted to be a Barcelona coach next summer. He had declined the offer when the Catalan club management sought a replacement for Ernesto Valverde last January.

Barcelona might be able to look in the mirror from what is experienced by Real Madrid. After the death of Cristiano Ronaldo, Los Blancos has decreased its achievements and is still trying to get up to date.
