Opposition Dictate Lionel Messi's Position On The Field Says Barcelona Coach Luis Enrique
Luis Enrique says 'the game and on the opponent' will influence which position superstar forward Lionel Messi plays in for Barcelona.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has highlighted the importance of Lionel Messi's tactical flexibility ahead of this weekend's La Liga encounter with Granada.
The Argentina international put in a man-of-the-match performance in Wednesday's 4-1 Copa del Rey win over Espanyol as he featured in a more central role than normal, scoring twice and setting up two more.
According to Luis Enrique, Barca seek to utilise Messi in different ways to get the best out of the star forward.
"The team always looks for Messi to take part in play as much as possible," he told a news conference.
"We have a number of options with Leo.
"It depends on the game and on the opponent whether he is at his best in a more central role or a bit more out wide."
