Barça will be charged to a substitute at the request of Leo Messi (and Valverde supports him)

The Argentine does not think it will benefit his game.

Leo Messi would have asked Barça to sign another substitute for Jordi Alba. 

The Argentine crack knows that the player of Hospitalet is very difficult to replace, but he believes that Lucas Digne is not the appropriate one to do it, since the team suffers more than with any other player when Jordi Alba does not play.

 The depth given by the Spanish international and the connection with Messi is light years away from that of Digne.

The Argentine believes that it would be necessary to have a side that came more to the end line and had the technical ability to impose some pause before the last touch and thus ensure a greater success than that of a Lucas Digne who does not convince.

Valverde agrees with Messi, however, the options that the club has proposed have not convinced him and he has preferred to keep the French for the moment.

It will be necessary to be very attentive this summer to the market of laterals, although they could even go to the subsidiary to find an ideal substitute for Jordi Alba. 

A player who looked like he was going to be Grimaldo, but the board ruled it a long time ago.
