Funny how this was what Ronaldo mentioned in his account of what happened.
He has a recovery regimen he follows, but he had to adjust because of what the Coach said, but he allowed him to warm up for that long without using him.
People hate that man no be small. 🥸
If anyone played football, you’d know it’s not about being able to run during the match.
It’s about getting fit for the match, which gets increasingly difficult. After a match, Messi has to go through intense recovery periods and not touch a ball for at least 3-4 days.
He gets back on the ball 4 days after the match, trains a day or 2 with the ball, gets back to recovery, because even slight training with the ball requires recovery at that age, and then is ready for the weekend match.
This is why players go to Saudi, MLS, Turkey in their later years, because football is less intense in those leagues. You don’t have to train with the squad every single day. You can manage your own schedule, be talked through the tactics and bag 2 goals on the weekend.
I understand his retirement. Messi can no longer play intensely every week. His legs won’t allow it.
Fofana by the way, any video that involves information about the players' personality, he's always there.
He no dey play ball before, na observation he dey do. 🙂🥸
