Joseph Barthemeu, the president of the Barcelona club, hinted at a radical change as well as a change of coach to solve the team's problems. But the situation has not changed much, nor has the condition of Barcelona's field. However, whatever happens outside the field, much of Barcelona's performance on the field revolves around captain Lionel Messi.
That Messi is in off form this time. Despite playing six matches in the season, he could not score any goal from the open play. The two goals he scored were from penalties. According to experts, Messi is not able to adapt to the 4-2-3-1 formation of the new coach Ronald Koeman.
However, the young Barcelona midfielder Frankie de Young does not see any problem in this. According to him, Messi is still the best player in the world. However, Young advised him (Messi) to play in his best position. He also said that he would adapt to Messi and the rest. These words came up in an interview given to UEFA before their second match in the group stage of the Champions League. You plan to bring the result of the match in your favor by putting him in the best position. I think we have to adapt to Messi. When he gets the ball in a position where the situation can be changed, he does it every time.' De Young had a hard time adjusting to the first season for Barcelona. However, he has formed a great partnership with Sergio Busquets, an experienced midfielder under Koman. His personal performance is also better than last season. In this case, he gave the credit of understanding with Busquets.
