Messi: "I was raised to be humble"

FC Barcelona striker Leo Messi has said that it does not compare with Cristiano Ronaldo "or anyone" who only tries to help his team, in addition to affirming that the Dutchman Frank Rijkaard was the "most important" coach their career because he trusted him and made ​​his debut with the first team.

"I think it's something the press, looking for all kinds of comparisons, in the game and what has been achieved. I personally try to help my team grow every year and do my job. I do not compare me or him or anyone -Cristiano- . You think of myself and my teammates and get the games ahead , "he said in an interview with Egyptian television channel MBC. In this regard, he notes that unites them only a sporting relationship. "We know of face and nothing else, we never saw off the field to meet and have a relationship. He is on another computer, nothing more , " he said.

About the white set, the Argentine international highlighted the continued fight all seasons. "Real Madrid is a big club with great history and many great players, past breathtaking stars. It is normal to struggle with rival because they are two of the biggest teams in the world. Madrid is a very complicated rival, always difficult to win the Spanish League, "he said.

"All the coaches I had at first left me things, but I think the most important thing in my career was Rijkaard . If he had not decided to get in the first team to train and play perhaps it had never reached the first team. I always said it was for me a very important person because he trusted me, I jumped at the right time, made ​​me play in the first team , "he said.

So many guys will go out and reach First, because they do what they did throughout his life , "he said. Also it considers that the new signings struggle to catch the Barca style. "When one comes from outside and is not used to it costs, but it's all training , " he added. Therefore, he believes that his play with Argentina is something else.

It is complicated to one another , 'he said, although he acknowledged that coach Gerardo' Tata 'Martino has the same philosophy as the Barcelona.

Catalans, with three goals from Messi, abuse of a team that finished with nine

Rayo is the team of all causes: stripe shirt is the have painted every color imaginable, in support of every "ism" of political correctness. Always a toast to the sun, never any institutional risk let alone intellectual. It only remains to Ray a stray cause incarnate, that is to win a match at the club , rather than the so insufferable comedy how brave is Paco Jemez in their approach against Barca, and the monumental thrashings that systematically just receiving . Everything in life has to have a limit. Metaphor also unfounded.Brave win. Go to show that you can play like Barca when you're the Ray is not brave, it is suicidal. There is a hierarchy. And such a basic principle as grooming.

The game started with the brave Ray always, your zone defense also provided, and with the club as always waiting for their space and time. Embarba good shot 5 minutes, that cleared Bravo with both fists. Vallecas hung no tickets and Luis Enrique regained his lamentable green trench coat. Lightning tired and Barcelona endured. Party in the stands, football obrerista in the field. Little talent and much pick and shovel. Pique error in 15 Embarba kicking missed innocently. In the same minute, Neymar also missed a butter into the opposing goal.

Juan Carlos failure

Messi had it at 20 after hunting with precise control assistance Neymar that was not for him. Juan Carlos rejected well in the short stick. But at the exit of the corner, the goalkeeper Rayo he missed a ball that had controlled high and Rakitic as a whole forward, took the gift to overtake his team. The next minute, Messi Neymar put off game- barest -in who ran to return it to theArgentine, who up to the final shot penalty spot to score the second goal of the club. 23 minutes 0 to 2. Another win in sight to celebrate the brave approach of Paco Jemez . It is neither brave nor smart, play against Barça with a defense of three, nor was any courage, or any elegance, Llorente to tackle Rakitic, for which he was expelled deserved and fulminant. An inexplicable entry.

The second part began with an interesting exchange of blows, including most notably the fine touch that has always had Trashorras and how attentive all night was Claudio Bravo , very well with his feet, anticipating the opposite. Luis Enrique very personal signing. Great performance from this guy at the club. 8 minutes, Messi took the rebound of a shot to stick Suarez to score the third. Read books goals were falling before a Ray continuing to play exactly the same. The most comfortable party that has had the Barcelona this season.

Manucho in the 11th glad head to his fans with a well worked goal that certainly was a deserved reward the efforts of the local. That is a reckless Jemez does not mean that their players are not admirable.

A Juan Carlos was again out a ball 19, and led a second move that ended with a dangerous lack on the balcony of the area that Neymar knocked the crossbar. Busquets, offside, was the subject of a fault for which Iturra was shown a straight red , being the last man midfielder with a clear chance of scoring. The foul was indisputable, but the play should have been annulled by the outside opening game. Divine justice was presented in Vallecas and Juan Carlos Suarez rejected the shot, but Messi scored 26 in the fourth and Arda in the head 40 and the fifth.

Paco Jemez says to justify his football that everyone chooses to die as he wants. I think the great pundonor of his players deserve more respect and less sterile narcissism.

Barcelona: It is time to rotate Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez

Barcelona overcame Sevilla on Sunday (2-1) and gave an almost definitive blow to the Liga to be at 8 points of Atletico Madrid and 12 of Real Madrid . However, despite the victory, they were worrying signs during times where the Sevilla deserved something more.

Lionel Messi needed just their usual sparkle to change the sign of the party. A goal kick canceled out of Vitolo and a cinch with Luis Suarez finished with the goal of Pique that it would end the three points. But there were reasons for concern in Argentina. In the last 20 minutes, just he participated. He looked tired, limp, unwilling or powerless to boot into the as lethal cons of this Barcelona. Neymar ended in pain and Suarez did not stay standing after his last race. And the burden of minutes becoming worrying for the trident.

In the match against Sevilla , Luis Enrique rested Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic , ushering Busquets, Arda and Sergi Roberto . With this once, the Spaniard technician used his 17th different half of the season. More rotations have been on the defensive line. Of the 46 official meetings, 25 different combinations have been on the pitch. But above, the story is different. Messi. Neymar and Suarez almost untouchable. Despite being injured two months, the Argentine has played 33 games this season, one less than Neymar (34) and six fewer than Suarez (39). While Rakitic (42) is the player most games played, loading Croat minutes it is less than the trident, as they tend to finish all their matches.

After passing with flying a difficult week with Arsenal and Sevilla, Barcelona now faces three games in ten days. Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas (Thursday 3rd, 21:00), Eibar in Ipurua (Sunday , 6, 16.00) and Getafe in the Camp Nou (Saturday 12, 16.00) will be rivals Barca before beginning another difficult week, with Arsenal in the return of the knockout stages of the Champions League (Wednesday 16, 20.45) and visit to Villarreal (Sunday 20th, 16.00). With this background, these three parties, at affordable priori, are the perfect setting to rest any of the Blaugrana attackers.

Luis Enrique hardly let them all out, for lack of logic but also for lack of alternatives. However, the formula for three games and three substitutions would not be far - fetched, resting one on each of the three games. The important part of the season is approaching, the time where you decide, especially in Europe, if you are aspiring or you stay on the road. Repeat the treble is still a reality, but, as said Cristiano Ronaldo , you need the best. And, no doubt, Messi, Suarez and Neymar are, today, the best strikers in the world.

Neymar: I prefer Lionel Messi left leg to the right of Cristiano Ronaldo

Neymar spoke in an interview with journalist Mauro Beting, UOL, where he spoke ofLionel Messi , Pele, of Cristiano Ronaldo andFC Barcelona .

Brazilian Barca player was sincere and said, in fact, prefers "Messi's left leg before the right of Cristiano Ronaldo, since until not broken, my right leg is also good".

On the other hand, Neymar would not go into comparisons between Lionel Messi and Pele, saying that "the two are geniuses."

"I have not seen Pele play. Pele just knew when my grandfather, my father's father, told me about him and I explained how I played Pele. This is a difficult question for me, because Messi if that I've seen play and have had the opportunity to do to her. Anyway, both Messi and Pele are two geniuses, "he added.

Finally, Neymar said that perhaps his best time as a footballer was "winning the Champions, much better than the Libertadores Cup" and also expressed his desire to reach the 2026 World Cup, when you have 32 years.

Barcelona a egalat din nou, in urma autogolului lui Miranda, iar a doua reusita a lui Neymar a transat soarta partidei.

Barcelona loose two points at home to Deportivo before traveling to Japan

Barcelona, ​​championship leader made two valuable points at the Camp Nou (2-2) against Deportivo La Coruna (6) before moving to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup this Saturday at the 15th day the league.

Without the Brazilian Neymar, injured, it was the Argentine star Lionel Messi who opened the scoring with a fantastic launch direct free kick that slipped through the top of his compatriot Germán Lux (39).

Shortly after the break, the Croatian Ivan Rakitic scored from outside the area in what appeared the ruling party (62), but with the score against, the Galicians did not lose faith and achieved a draw in the final leg with goals Lucas Perez (77) and Alex Bergantinos (86).

It is the second consecutive draw in the league for Barcelona after a 1-1 draw at Valencia last week, and the third if you consider the Bayer Leverkusen (1-1) Wednesday in the Champions League on a inconsequential for the Catalans, who had already qualified for the knockout final.

Galician team coach Victor Sánchez del Amo, former player of Real Madrid and Deportivo own, conducted a very effective approach, with superiority in midfield and less aware of the bands of Barcelona, ​​without Neymar on the left, had much less power dominating.

Depor even had the first chance of the match, although the front Johnatan not quite control the ball well, just before Claudio Bravo, and Chilean goalkeeper snatched the ball (16).

The visiting team was becoming more comfortable on the lawn before a shallow Barcelona, ​​in which only Messi, with a wide range of countries, seemed able to disrupt the balance.

t was not a pass, but with a superb free-kick on the edge of the area, committed on Luis Suarez, Messi broke the deadlock just before the break.

After the break, Rakitic seemed sentence with the second goal, another great shot from the edge. Unconsciously, the Barcelona that the match was 2-0 in his pocket and began to think about the Club World Cup in Japan.

- History repeats itself -

But Deportivo was able to repeat the story of last May, when on the last day of the last championship, tied 2-0 in favor of the Catalans. That point served to keep the category.

In the off, both teams could have scored the winning goal, but neither the Portuguese Miguel Cardoso (90 + 1) for Sport and local Sergi Roberto, a center that brought the visitors' defense (90 + 4), matched to the arch rival.

Lionel Messi finished the game with discomfort in the hamstring

Lionel Messi finished the match against Bayer Leverkusen , which ended in a draw, with a sore muscle in the left hamstring that caused the front to the affected area face horror touch. However, Luis Enrique Martinez had no reaction regarding this circumstance after the game and even fall within normal after the Argentine has accumulated 180 minutes in just three days.

In fact, if Messi played titular it was to accumulate minutes thinking about the Club World Club Cup the Barcelona held in Japan next week, but after this the question arises whether the remedy will not be worse than the disease.

In any case, it remembers that this is a common disease among players who have been unemployed so long and in any case you have to torn ACL that has kept him on the sidelines for two months relationship.

Champions League: Messi scores Barcelona snatched the draw at Leverkusen

Assured of first place Barcelona team took advantage of a goal Lionel Messi to snatch a draw (1-1) Tuesday in Leverkusen undefeated and finish the group stage of the Champions League.

 With this second draw to 4 wins, Barça, however, underperformed its great rival of Real Madrid, author of a festival the day before against Malmö (8-0) to clinch his fifth victory (1n).

With the 80th goal of his career in C1, Messi partially filled up on Ronaldo, author of a quadrupled the day before, the historical scorer on the big European stage.

For Leverkusen, hoped the miracle did not happen. Chicharito scored the only goal of a voluntary Rhine club but unrealistic finally returned in the Europa League with his 3rd place.

Already deprived of Neymar (groin), Iniesta, Pique and Alves, Luis Enrique Suarez has not retained in the eleven Barça, Messi leaving captain in charge for this match without stakes, with his side El Haddadi and Ramirez for their first C1.

And the great N.10 held his rank. Served at the limit of offside by Rakitic, "Chip" has played a Leno goalkeeper hook to open the scoring with his third European goal of the season (20).

Much more enterprising, Leverkusen was rewarded three minutes later by Chicharito equalised with a shot on the turn to the penalty spot (1-1, 23). The fifth goal in six matches Mexican C1 in its new German colours.

Defending champions suffered in the second half of the assaults a determined adversary but were saved by the lack of opposing realism and vigilance of their Ter Stegen German goalkeeper.

The International doorman multiplied parades through to block before Bellarabi and Chicharito particular, ruining the dream of the Rhineland club.

Luis Enrique will count on a rested workforce to receive the Liga Deportivo Saturday, before knowing his opponent on Monday 8th then travel to Japan for the World Club.

In Leverkusen, we must now redress the championship in bar (8th). And the next step looks dangerous with the reception of Mönchengladbach, the one who defeated Bayern last week.

Classic installed to Barcelona in a sublime moment, suddenly canceled the doubt s the start of the season and leaving an unbeatable image that was developed without Messi and enlarged with the return of the best player in the world.

The 'MNS' is ready to make a time and want to repeat what happened in the 'Golden Ball' 2010 when the 'podium' was Barca. Messi, Iniesta and Xavi at present with three strikers who have scored 30 of Barcelona's 33 goals in the league. They alone added more goals than the entire staff of Real Madrid (28).

The magic of Neymar, the punch of Luis Suarez and around player cartoon Messi returns to ring the Barca fans. .

-- GARETH BALE

It closed in Ipurua his best weeks of the season Bale, recovering his most dominating Lviv version in the Champions League as it fell to the left, its natural area, and finalizing his slump unmarked Ipurua. After the two goal assists against Shakhtar Cristiano, against Eibar led the way with a header to a win that lifts worked at Real Madrid the doldrums after losing to Sevilla and Barcelona.

Had not scored since August 29 Bale, too long for a player with Cristiano and Benzema Karim must take responsibility for the goal. Abandoned the right, this season Benitez looking for a site. Your site is left but to persuade Christian to abandon definitively is a complex task. Changing positions during games is throwing down the street and when the average falls to the left Gareth returns to football for Real Madrid paid 100 million euros. Recovered from his calf injury is now seeking continuity in performance. Your team needs to return to regularly. .

  - TIAGO MENDES 

Atletico Madrid lost a key player in the next four months, the estimated recovery time tibial fracture that was operated on Sunday the Portuguese center half. It is a shocking and maximum importance for a set spinning on their anticipation floor, his leadership, his placement and pace.

Is the "brain team owner in the middle of the field," said his coach a few weeks ago, the Argentine Diego Simeone , forced now, just when eleven had already defined type system, a new reinvention, no time for doubt, and the right choice of a substitute for a decisive position at Atletico between Saul Ñíguez, most likely, Thomas Partey or transfer of Koke . In January there will be one more option: the Argentine Matías Kranevitter.

- Nuno Espírito Santo

Nuno situation had become untenable and although the Portuguese coach said openly that he has decided together with the heads of Valencia leaving the bench, he took leave after the defeat at the Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville. Before the meeting he had already spoken to Peter Lim and nothing will stop the departure of a coach who returned to the club to Champions League but lost credit every game this season.

Mestalla was never easy for technicians square. Some who had heard songs titles against tier in the past. Nuno took complex decisions. Talk with Alvaro Negredo ended up hurting the team. The crowd sided with the player and the coach was noted. Only results would support him and have not arrived. The poor image of the team, the situation costume, mismanagement of a huge investment, the complication of a Champions League group was on track, the wrong time in the league. Nuno pulls everything together to goodbye. And he speaks in the past Valencia. .

  - Sergio Escudero 

Raul's friend in Germany lived a difficult season in Sevilla, injured upon arrival at the leap in quality that was from Getafe, with subsequent relapse and initial months further complicated adaptation. Escudero asked responded profile Unai Emery to reinforce its side and was the surprise in the starting an important match against Valencia al.

The official debut 149 days after its signing, soon arrived but could not help him better taste. Escudero signed a goal, hooking in the air with a great technical gesture with the outside of the ball Ever Banega. His left-footed shot, powerful angle took three golden points to Sevilla. It means finished injured with a blow. He left the stadium with ice. But nothing stops her big day. From now turning to feel footballer, he begins a new stage of his career.

ManCity willing to madness for Messi and there would already have the offer ready!

PlayStation stuff, from fantasy, call it what you want, but it seems willing to bring to the table Manchester City to clinch Leo Messi goes beyond the wildest imagination. You enter the pantheon of those football the measure to the tune of millions, perhaps a universe that has nothing to do with sports, but that it is woven with so much sensational as incredible.

 1.2 million a week salary, amounting to about 62 million a year. Ah, clarification: image rights and bonuses already included. It is of such magnitude that the check the owner of Manchester City Mansour would be willing to disconnect in order to have the flea in their squad and, in parallel, finally looking to excel even in Europe (where the citizens have always reeled).

The Sun also reports that the deal at exorbitant between Barcelona and Sky Blues would have already started: a first meeting of the Argentine star and his entourage with the States General of the British company but could be forced to wait until 2018 (the year of natural Argentine ace out of contract): otherwise would need a buyout clause of 250 million. Then the sheikh might be inclined to save money by offering only 170 million next summer: we therefore confirm whether what was written actually corresponds to the truth.
