Oh shit Messi stole my mediocrity strategy This is uncannily close to my general approach to stuff

Been watching Messi vids since he signed a 2yr deal to play with Paris St. Germain (up to $75m/year). Messi is known for walking leisurely on the pitch. Many think it's to conserve energy. There's a more strategic reason and it's the epitome of "work smart, not hard." THREAD🧵

apparently the og reason was that he had some kind of disorder as a child where lactic acid build up in his muscles was much faster than normal so he could only do short sprints

I thought with their salaries all professional football players would be like that? Turns out it’s as boring as I thought, with rare exceptions it’s a bunch of people running around with little to no strategy.

6/ Messi is a walking computer, taking in all the info and expending energy at the most opportune times. Here are quotes from his former manager (Ernesto Valverde) and Man City manager (Pep Guardiola).
