Lionel Messi on the false 9 position

Messi recently revealed a few new details about playing as the false nine for FC Barcelona for the first time under Pep Guardiola. Messi said that Guardiola said, "I want to play with a false 9, so the central defenders won't have a reference point, and you'll be one more in the middle of the field. To win in Madrid, we need to have possession, be protagonists. If we want to win, we have to be far superior to them. I want you to come back into midfield, link up with Busi, Xavi, and Andrés. If their central defenders come out, we have Samuel and Tití who will run into space."
