The improvement of their contract, as well as cases of Valdés, Eto 'o Touré, will be played only at the end of season

FC Barcelona's intention to improve the contract of Leo Messi when the current season and bring to market internationally. Cree azulgrana Entity that if the young striker is regarded as the best footballer in the world, their salaries should also be consistent with that reality.

This is hinted secretary Technical club, Txiki Begiristain, the last radio interview he gave to the program of Catalunya Radio "Els millors anys nostra of life:" This is a matter on which we must always be vigilant, "said the head of planning of the sports entity.

This initiative was born within the club, and that neither Lionel Messi nor its parent, which acts as agent, have made no demand in this regard in recent months. In fact, the last contract ended Rosario signing last summer.

The intention is that the FC Barcelona Messi will be as comfortable in the Camp Nou, in every way, economically as well, which for many siren voices that come from other countries, mainly Italy and England, their only desire is cast roots here.

It is true that, currently, there are very few footballers in the world with a tab at the top Messi, but there is. For example, and not least, the Swede Ibrahimovic of Inter Milan, the Milan's Brazilian Kaka and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United. The three are a step above Leo in this section.

When Txiki Begiristain said: "There are players who are not as good as Messi and charge more," was making a statement of principles on the line of action to be undertaken at the club azulgrana As the season ends. That is sacred. All elements of the club, including, of course, the view Pep Guardiola, understand that it would be counterproductive at this stage of the competition get to talk about issues of contract renewals and upgrades. Therefore, cases of Víctor Valdés, Eto or, Touré, etc. will not be attacked until the outcome of the team in League, Cup and Champions League.

The case of Leo Messi will not be addressed as an extension contract, in fact would remain that the current conditions therein. Ending June 30 2014 and will continue to have a unilateral termination clause of 150 million euros. On the boat is still far away the need to extend that commitment because there are still five years for completion. Anyway it is certain that the next manager of Barcelona and the entity to take care not to endanger the slightest continuity of this new icon club.

ICON OF THE CLUB
FC Barcelona means that given the quality and youthfulness of their number ten, which is continuing to build up a workforce competitive and winning mentality around your figure. The dimension of Messi is so great that has become the envy of all the big clubs in the world. Barca has the best footballer on the planet and that has a price. Everything happens, however, by the will of the player. If Leo is happy in Barcelona, yes it is, if you feel valued in all respects, it feels that it is much easier to see the future with optimism.

Because what it would cost today to Barça or any other computer, go to the market and sign a player like Leo? Since this filing is not made and will not be paid off, the high sheet Messi can take much more quiet.

The entity azulgrana Leo Messi wants to reward with a rise in your record that you allow equal and even exceed, those Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo. Thus reward the extraordinary season that is underway and that it lacks only the icing, the climax of the titles. The club, from the presidency until the technical team through the technical secretariat, are very pleased with the involvement of Messi and his efforts to always be one hundred percent physically. Leo is aware of the role it plays play on the boat and took it with discretion, but with conviction.

Since it was Ronaldinho and Deco were last season, and without violating the weight they also have players like Eto "or, Xavi or Iniesta's importance in the Argentine team is incontestable.

In the case of Leo, in addition, there is the thirst for great titles and firm conviction that has become one of the best footballers in the history of FC Barcelona. That going to win many titles. And that is ...

Valdes, Xavi, Iniesta and Bojan will, along with Leo, the key pieces of the new project, which will also be Milito.

The Barcelona in the 2008-09 season will be built under a backbone fully consolidated. Of course the cornerstone of the new project will be Leo Messi, the player most destabilising the template Blaugrana. But it will not be alone. The Argentinian will be travelling companions to a suite of youth squad players-players who will guarantee quality, experience and Valdes-like commitment under the sticks, and Iniesta and Xavi in midfield. Bojan also be within the package of key players in the new project. And another name itself, Gaby Milito, exercise leadership in the defense.

This backbone will also feature the strengthening of three complementary players that certainly will have a very important role in the new project. We are talking about the Ivorian Yaya Toure, a player who has shown in a single year have more commitment than others who have five years or more in the entity Blaugrana. That it will take to recover from the operation herniated disk that will be submitted at the end of this season to solve their problems on the back that you have left renqueante.

Another man who will take his role will be the captain Carles Puyol, although it will seek a man of weight as an alternative in the central axis, since the low of Thuram and very possible to leave an Marquez vacancy in that position. Finally, Abidal would also have a place in the banda left.

Thus, the priorities of the technical secretariat focus on a right side, a central, a left side, a defensive pivot, a midfielder, a striker and a left end. There is no doubt that all this will mean a significant investment, but at least we have already large crack.

There will be revolution in Celtic Park if Rijkaard gives continuity to the tactic that tested yesterday behind closed doors.

Frank Rijkaard used yesterdays training behind closed doors to rehearse tactics without Leo Messi as the holder for the party tomorrow at Celtic Park. The body of technical Barcelona is assessing the possibility of submitting an alignment in Glasgow with more troops in the center of the field and ensure that the possession of the ball bearing in mind that always subtracted 90 minutes per play at the Camp Nou.

The alternative cover for the possible absence of Messi would be among the return to the team Iniesta, who was an alternate and did not dispute any time in the match last Saturday in Zaragoza or dotrar much more muscle to the team and give input to Eidur Gudjohnsen , as a surprise. Significantly, when Barcelona visited Glasgow last November to face the Rangers, and was the Icelandic player was used as a tool to compensate for the thrust of the British.

Messi, neither has been very lucid in recent matches of the Barcelona as a visitor and there has been some depletion of the Argentine, who since returning from his injury has not had an opportunity to make a gradual integration team. Proof of this is that it has been replaced in the final leg of the last meetings of Barcelona.

Therefore, if the tests conducted behind closed doors yesterday were satisfactory, Barcelona could appear at Celtic Park with a pattern more similar to 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that when the front would be formed by Thierry Henry and Samuel Etoo, who thus returns to the team owner after his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

For the first time in a long time, Frank Rijkaard go to a meeting with the vast majority of their troops available, which increases the possible alignments. The fact that the meeting tomorrow will be the first act of an eliminatory scheduled to return merely increase the uncertainty concerning the possible team that could present the technician Dutch.

It seems certain that the defense, how well is carburando, is not going to vary. Valdes is untouchable as a goalkeeper in front of you will be aligned Puyol, Milito, Marquez and Abidal. A solid defence that can cope with the ordeal he intends to submit to the Celtic blaugrana through the air balls.

In this aspect of the game will be fundamental physical Yaya Toure in the centre of the field. When African fichó him to the stature in Europe and put Barcelona in the physical level of the great European teams.

The accompanying Yaya Toure depend largely on whether the evidence yesterday of a Barça without Leo Messi proved entirely satisfactory.

The substitution of Iniesta in La Romareda may suggest that Rijkaard thought in reserve to come to Scotland rested. If Rijkaard finally chooses to align four centrocampistas Deco and Xavi seems that they have more numbers, unless Guddy return to the team owner, rather than Deco.
