Barcelona coach to Messi: You will not get special treatment
The most prominent event in Barcelona after the decision of the Argentine captain, Lionel Messi, to return to the Catalan, was the first meeting between him and his Dutch coach Ronald Koeman in the team's training yesterday.
This is the first confrontation between the new coach and the most prominent player in the team, since the previous meeting when Messi decided to leave the team.
The newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" said that the first words that Coman said to Messi during a short conversation between them, after he expressed his happiness at his return that "he will not receive special treatment different from his colleagues," and that "the way former coaches in Barcelona treated him will not be the same with him." He also told him that he only wanted a fully committed player in Barcelona, and would not accept otherwise.
On the other hand, Messi assured that he would give everything he had to the team, and would seek to make Barcelona the best in Europe. Messi gave him leave, and he met him, but the short dialogue ended in a crisis, especially after Koeman addressed harsh words to Messi, and told him at the time, "You have to forget the privileges that you were getting before."
Coman appeared harsh in Messi's treatment, as one of the reasons that made the Argentine star days after that send a "fax" to the Barcelona administration confirming his desire to leave, before he changed his mind last Friday and decided to stay at least for an additional season.
Messi was the first to reach Barcelona training on his first day since his return, and he trained alone with Brazilian Coutinho.
Before training, he sat down, according to the newspaper, to conduct a short dialogue with Koeman, in which the Dutch coach asserted his authority as the first official in technical matters.
Coman seeks to control the stadium room, and limit the power of the stars in the team, headed by Lionel Messi.
