In recent matches, the results of Barcelona leave much to be desired - in three consecutive bouts. Examples of the Catalans failed to win, tied twice, and once lost to the opponent.
According to El Chiringuito, the blue-pomegranate defender Gerard Pique believes that Lionel Messi should more often communicate with the press and take responsibility for failures, since he is the captain.
At the same time, the Spanish Bek is dissatisfied with Messi’s public silence and the fact that Leo talks to journalists only outside of Spain - in Argentina.
Earlier, Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde explained his decision to do without Lionel Messi in the match with Athletics (1: 1).
