A few days later, two friends, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, saw the reverse side of the coin. One could not even leave Barcelona. Another wanted to stay, But the club has chased him away. After a lot of drama, Messi has remained in the new camp. He will play in Barcelona's first La Liga match against Villarreal at 1 pm tonight. This is like a new Argentine star in the old club. On the other hand, Suarez, who left Bar্সa and signed for Atletico Madrid, is also waiting for a new start today. Atletico will start their season at home at 8 pm with a match against Granada.
Coach Kiki Setien lost his job to Barcelona after losing 6-2 to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. Former Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman has taken charge. The Dutch footballer, who once played in Barcelona, has taken on the challenge of pulling the Catalan giants out of the abyss.
Although it will not be easy, the Spanish sports daily Marca thinks. In a report, they said Koman had already lost confidence in board members on various issues. Team captain Messi did not like him from the beginning. However, Barcelona has won all three warm-up matches under Koman. Whatever the conflict with the club or the emotional distance with the coach, Messi has spread the light on the field as before. Philippe Coutinho's return from Bayern to New Camp at the end of the loan period is also a sign of something good. He has adapted well to Koman's 4-2-3-1 formation. It is difficult to say whether Barcelona will regain their lost glory under the Dutch coach.
However, the performance of today's match against Villarreal will at least show their confidence. Messi is sure to play in today's match if he does not have any unforeseen accident before the match. However, there is uncertainty about Suarez. The Uruguayan striker first practiced with his Atletico teammates on Friday after the transfer. According to Marca, although Suarez could not be seen in the starting XI against Granada, he could come down at any stage of the match.
Atletico Madrid's Argentine coach Diego Simeone was infected with the coronavirus on September 13. He has fully recovered from Kovid-19. He will be seen in the dugout today. However, due to Corona, Atletico is not getting the defensive player Jose Jimenez.
