Lionel Messi is one step closer to equaling Pele's record of goals playing for a single club. Barcelona receives Real Sociedad for the Spanish Championship.
Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman praised captain Lionel Messi last Tuesday (15), who is one step closer to equaling Pelé's record of goals for a single club. "These numbers are impressive. We are not going to have a player who makes this club more effective, which is why he is number one," Koeman said at the press conference before the Spanish League game against Real Sociedad at 5 pm, this Wednesday (16).
"We saw the other day that the team still depends a lot on Leo," added the Barça coach, referring to the 1-0 win over Levante on Sunday with a goal by the Argentine star "It is incredible what he did for this club", Koeman insisted on Messi, who is one goal away from equaling Pelé's record of 643 goals with the Santos shirt as the player who most hit the net with the shirt of a single team.
The Barça captain will have the opportunity to draw with the football king this Wednesday against Real Sociedad, a match to reinforce the victory path that started against Levante. "The result the other day was very important. The attitude of the team was good and those three points give us a little more tranquility to face tomorrow's game," said Koeman.
The Barça coach, whose team is in eighth position in the league, 9 points behind leader Real Sociedad, acknowledged, however, that "in general we cannot be happy with our trajectory in the league, we have lost games that we could not have lost". "We have to be more regular than we've shown so far," said Koeman.
"We know our situation, we have two more games until the end of the year and we have to win them. They are against good teams, but we must have personality," he explained. "If we go very defensively, pressing when we don't have the ball, I don't think they will score many goals against us," said the Dutch coach...
