Over the years, many people still believe that Lionel Messi possesses natural talent and assume that the Argentine superstar does not need to practice hard to succeed.

However, recently, Ben Young – the physical coach at Inter Miami Club that Messi is joining – revealed the opposite. Accordingly, Messi is actually the most hardworking player on the team.

“Messi is the first to arrive and the last to arrive, extremely professional. He has his own individual exercises and strengths. He even practices the next day after returning from the national team. Messi is the only one Strictly maintaining his intensity and training schedule. That’s why Messi is at the top of the world and still maintains that position,” Ben Young said.

 

Since joining, Messi has been the soul of Inter Miami’s playing style. However, since the end of last year, the 2022 World Cup champion has often had to stop playing due to injury. Ben Young admitted that Messi is being taken care of very carefully.

“We set up training plans to meet the needs of the match. We even let the players train a little harder to be ready for every scenario that happens on the field.

To avoid overload during training, we always remind the players about the importance of recovery and nutrition. Players must always ensure recovery and good sleep. Messi is currently being carefully cared for, has private massages and recovery sessions,” he added.

Messi showed high form when joining Inter Miami with 25 goals in 29 matches. This season, Messi has 12 goals in 12 matches in the US professional tournament. At this time, Messi left Inter Miami to return to Argentina to prepare for Copa America 2024.
