His first speech after the final match for the Joan Gamper Trophy in summer, his message on Monday before the return match against Sevilla and his gesture with Coutinho strengthened his leadership. And now, Leo warns, “Let’s attack on everything.”

Respecting his instinct to always score Sevilla, to which he recorded 21 goals in 17 games at Camp Nou, Lionel Messi closed the series of goals and Barcelona went to the semifinals of the King’s Cup.

He was not the excellent Messi as he knows to be. He lost the ball more often than any other player in this match, 21 times, and even lost a golden opportunity to score, which he had created himself.

He made a magic pass for Sergi Robertos’ goal for the 4-0 result. Well, that was not the best thing he did this week. Messi – in the role of the captain whom some people questioned whether he would be able to practice, which he took in completely natural, was the first to ignite the return wake to Seville: “Let the people come in Camp Nou, we want to come back. ”

Besides, in the first game in Sevilla there were also other stars: Pique, Alba, Rakitic, Suarez and Coutinho.

But the best detail came to the field. After winning the penalty itself, Messi decided to leave Coutinhos in his hand to shoot him. What could have been a cluttered bomb as if the Brazilian did not score, ended up as a revival of self-confidence for the 26-year-old, who gave the first signs of a great match in turn after a few months. “He gave me the penalty in a natural way. This is a detail that shows how big he is, “said Coutinho thanking Messi after the match.

 It is clear that Barça has been following Messi’s instructions since August when he gave his first speech as captain, during which he was determined and vocal. It is known that, as he himself has said, he has had the best teachers. Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta have opened the way, Messi has simply followed their footsteps.

Captain of a few words, while his public speeches are complete. Of course, when you talk a bit, the message you want to convey is more reliable. Since Messi’s speech in August, everyone in the club is convinced that a triplet can be won again. Although this word, for now, is taboo at Camp Nou. Messi changed it slightly by saying “Let’s attack on everything.”

Antonio Conte has said he is “waiting for the next destination, but he has no offer from any Italian club”. He also said Chelsea already belongs to his past.

Former coach of Italy, Juventus and Chelsea have spoken of Sky Sport Italia this evening.

“I’m fine, very well. I really lack the training centers but I decided to swim all this year. I’m very relaxed and I’m waiting for the next destination. ”

“I went to see the Atalanta-Juventus match, after coming to Milan from London to follow the match. I have not had any offer from Italian clubs. ”

Conte was asked if he knew that Chelsea’s Maurizio Sarri was beaten 4-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League this evening and he replied.

“I did not know. Chelsea belongs to my past now. I do not talk much about it, much less that there is still a legal battle between me and this club. ”

The media have written that Conte is being sought by some clubs, as Roma Inter has been rumored today as they were eliminated from the Italian Cup by defeating with a 7-1 result from Fiorentina.

Antonio Rudiger has called on Chelsea fans to remain calm as it has to do with Gonzalo Higuain, who did not make the best appearance in the debut with the Londoners.

The Argentine striker came from Juventus in the form of a loan until the end of this season, while tonight he will play for the first time with Eden Hazard against Borunemouth.

“We have to have patience for Higuain. He has just came. But he will be important to us and will show his strength, “said Chelsea defender Rudiger.

“Everyone who knows football and Eden knows what you can profit if you play with him.”

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is ready to start the real fight for Premier League title after announcing he is not yet ready to surrender despite last night’s defeat against Newcastle United.

Manchester City missed the match against Newcastle with a 2-1 result, despite being ahead of only 23 seconds in the game. This defeat makes Liverpool the chance to go to the top of seven points if he is able to secure victory tonight.

Guardiola has admitted that his team could not lose more points in the remainder of the season in order to defeat Liverpool in the title race. However, a tough match will add even more pressure to the English champions in power.

After facing Arsenal on Sunday, Manchester City will go to Everton and then, in the next game, will host Chelsea at home and Guardiola admits that his team will not be easy to achieve this.

“The next week will be difficult, with matches against Arsenal, Everton and Chelsea. We are in January and we are behind the leader, but we have many titles and many points we can still win “, Guardiola said.

“If they win, then we remain behind them for many points. However, it is still January, not April or May. There are still many matches. We will not give up. It is more difficult now, but we have the opportunity to win the title and we know how to win the matches. When you are back, you can not lose points. ”

“Sometimes things go well for you and sometimes they do not go. We were able to reduce the distance. When you’re behind the leader, you have to win matches and we did not do that. I know that the challenge that we have ahead is great. ”

“We are in all races and this makes our challenge difficult. But if you want to improve as a team, you have to accept this challenge. I prefer to be in that position. “
