Barcelona star Lionel Messi is reportedly unimpressed with Ernesto Valverde's style of play, despite the team's unbeaten run in La Liga.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi is reportedly concerned about the team's style of play under head coach Ernesto Valverde.

The 53-year-old boss, who has previously managed Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, took over at Camp Nou in the summer following Luis Enrique's departure.

The Catalan giants have a four-point lead at the top of the La Liga table due to an unbeaten 10-game run.

However, according to Diario Gol, Messi is unimpressed with Valverde's tactics and is worried that the team will lose their identity due to the lack of free-flowing football.

The report claims that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner does not want Barcelona to play like a Jose Mourinho side, which can be defensive and stifle opponents in order to get the desired result.
