“Messi is key” Puyol
July 24, 2008 by Kerron
Barcelona’s captain Carles Puyol returning from an extended vacation following Spain’s triumph in this summer’s Euro 2008 tournament has stated his delight in the arrival of players from around Europe to Barcelona but stated that Argentine and Diego Maradona’s protégé Lionel Messi is the key to unlock Barcelona’s door to success.
The Spanish defender stated that “I think we have signed quality players that have done a lot in their respective teams, I hope they can do just as well or better for Barça.”
“We have a great squad, but Messi is a very important player for us, one of the best in the world.
“The thing is, his situation is something we can’t comment on, it is something we can’t control. I hope a solution is found and that he can play with us.” Barcelona has had two seasons without silverware and new coach Josep Guardiola and a few summer signings will be looking to end their drought.
