‘Messi will have total freedom’

Luis Enrique has revealed that he will build his Barcelona attack around Lionel Messi this season.

With Luis Suarez’s arrival, speculation had been rife about how the Argentine superstar would be used by the new Coach.

But the Blaugrana boss has insisted that the former Ballon d’Or winner will always be his main man.

“Leo has so many options that we can't close off any to him,” he told reporters.

“He will have total freedom to move in attacking situations. 

“He is the best in the world, without a doubt, and we adapt to his mobility.”

Luis Enrique did confirm though, that neither Messi nor Neymar would play against Leon in the Joan Gamper tomorrow.

“We're not at 100 per cent, which is no surprise at this stage. But the squad have trained harder than I expected.

“They have made sacrifices and I am 100 per cent optimistic. The fans will like what they see [on Monday].”
