Probably He is not ready after his best form and still
suffering from injury problems that plagued over about a month which denied him
from participating with the team in critical matches, but the Argentine feat striker
Lionel Messi reaffirmed the gap apparent between the level of Barcelona with
Messi and the level of the Catalans in the absence of Argentine star.
The experience
reaffirmed that Barcelona seems completely different team without Messi and
that any attempts to gloss over this fact would not work.
The match at home to Real Betis on Sunday in the
thirty-fourth stage of the Spanish league clear model confirmed this fact where
Messi led the team skillfully to win 4-2.
And before about ten minutes of the Messi descent and after
starting the second half of the match, Barcelona appeared in the form of a team
that is suffering and cannot find the net in the face of hard defensive
performance of his guests, although tied the score 2/2 after the team came from
behind twice to draw with difficult guests.
Despite this, the 35 minutes in which Messi played was enough to offer Argentine star
many of the things where he scored two goals wonderful and restored calm to his
team and happiness to their fans while engaged crossbar for another goal he
will raise his tally to three goals (a hat trick) in the game.
Messi raised his record to 45 goals in the top scorer competition
this season, also became the best alternative in the competition after it
became the best alternative shake the net, following his participation in the
center of the pitch.
Messi and raise the tally yesterday to six goals in four
games participated in as a substitute in the second half.
He has previously scored two goals as a substitute, also when he met with Getafe, which Barcelona
won with 4-1 , and a goal at Deportivo
La Coruna which Barcelona won by 2 / zero and a goal against Athletic Bilbao to
draw the two teams 2/2 before scoring two yesterday in the net of Betis.
The Spanish newspaper "El Pais" on Monday
"despite the Barcelona well-deserved victory awaited Spanish league title
was by his superiority over Real Madrid in the competition this season, the
title in this time must carry the name of Lionel Messi.
Yesterday's game
showed another picture of Messi, who gets very angry at wasting a valuable
opportunity especially clear at the end of the game, and that is his strong and
designed to achieve victories.
Messi passed in the last few weeks difficult period may be
the hardest and worst in his career so far, which extends across the nine years
since promoted to the first team in Barcelona.
Messi suffered a muscle injury in the second of April this
year. Since then, Messi did not give his best form and known fitness.
During the past four weeks, Messi injury turned into a
mystery puzzle which is unclear where no one knows what is going on the player.
This prompted the ambiguity of some newspapers to accuse
Messi “refusal" to participate against Bayern Munich in the second leg
semi-finals of the Champions League defeat by Barcelona match zero / 3 at home
after losing the zero / 4 back in
Munich.
The matches played by Barcelona Showed in those four weeks
that the team "modest" without Messi.
During the last nine games of Barcelona in various
tournaments, Messi was substantial in only one match which first leg against
Bayern and who did not appear at all on the opposite of what it is like in
their games over nine years with the club's first team.
Messi played as a substitute in the match draw Barcelona 2/2
with Bilbao four days after this.
Messi played in the second half of this match when Bilbao
was advanced by 1 / 0 before Messi to score the equalizer
1/1, and then make a goal, 2-1, while equivalent Bilbao 2/2 just before the end
of the meeting.
Therefore, it was a surprise for all of the
non-participation of Messi in the second leg against Bayern on Wednesday.
The Messi participation yesterday against Betis reaffirmed
its impact on performance and results of Barcelona, as has happened before in
front of Paris Saint-Germain before only one month in the quarter-finals of the
Champions League when he scored two goals and led the team to qualify for the
semi-finals at the expense of PSG filled with stars.
