Ronald Koeman

was tremendously forceful in the Camp Nou press room.

Since

Leo Messi

had to give up his intention to leave the club in September last year, he has done the impossible to get on his side.

And this time it was not going to be an exception either.

"We must highlight what he has done for this club.

He has been showing a lot of quality as a footballer for years and years, he

has helped make this club very great and he has helped a lot to win important titles.

That is the most important thing, stop the contract, stop the nonsense

», roared the Barça coach.

“You have to try to find out how all this could come out in the press and, once again, I, as a coach, and the players have to focus on the season.

We must continue and not lose focus on this issue.

They are things that come out, but cannot come out.

We know that everything that surrounds the press is complicated, and that there are people who are going to hurt Barça and Leo,

"continued the Dutchman.

“If the person who leaked it is someone from within the club, that's very bad.

If you are part of this club, you have to help the entity, the coaches and the players.

We have to think about our work, about our game.

If someone from the club has leaked it, he cannot have a future here,

"said the coach.

For Koeman, the Argentine knew how to isolate himself from everything to play.

«What has come out in the press is with very bad intention, to hurt a player who has done a lot for this club and for Spanish football.

He has shown that he is a born winner, because, despite what has happened, he has helped the team and has been important.

I had no doubt that this would be the case, ”stressed the Dutchman.

«Leo has been around for many years, he has a lot of experience, he has experienced good things and not so good.

He has shown that all this has not affected him.

We are experiencing a moved situation in the famous environment, that Johan said, and the team is very isolated from everything that sounds around and very involved in work, although they are issues that annoy that come out, "added Guillermo Amor

, director of institutional and sports relations of the club in Movistar LaLiga.

Griezmann was more annoyed when approaching the subject: «What a question, right?

We are enjoying him, he is a legend and I hope we can continue to enjoy him.

The red of the Super Cup

The undoubted thing is that Leo Messi jumped to the terrain of game tremendously motivated.

Beyond the more than possible mosqueo to see his numbers exposed,

the Argentine had a pending account with Athletic

.

Not surprisingly, Marcelino's team was able to unhinge him to such an extent that he saw his first red card as a Barça player.

He was very involved from the first minute, looking for the ball and giving orders to his teammates.

The initial seriousness gave way to several smiles.

The first, when he was about to score, finishing off with his chest what was more of a shot than a cross from Pjanic.

The second, after opening the foul marker, so much so that he celebrated by raising his fist to the sky.

In the second half, however, the effort took its toll, but even so, he had no qualms when he faced the rival bench when he was reproached for forcing a foul over and over again and looked for the ball to unblock his team.

And at the end, with his face reddened by fatigue and the slower revolutions, he greeted his teammates, the referees one by one and even

exchanged the shirt with an Ander Capa who was practically his shadow

throughout the match.
