Barcelona Captain Leo Messi 'happy' with training sessions under Koeman

If everything goes well with Koeman, perhaps Messi won't regret staying at Camp Nou.

Leo Messi is delighted with the physical work Barcelona are doing during the training sessions under Ronald Koeman, Mundo Deportivo report.

The Dutchman has brought in Albert Roca as his fitness coach, who had the same role at the club during Frank Rijkaard's spell at Camp Nou.

Messi believes that the team is improving physically, which was already seen in the match against Celta Vigo.

Despite being one man down for 45, despite the heavy rain and the strong wind, the Catalans stayed active and attacked a lot throughout the match.

In his turn, Koeman has praised Leo for his dedication and the hard work he puts in be it in training and during matches.

Last season, the team's fitness level was perhaps our biggest problem, which resulted in the embarrassing loss to Bayern Munich.
