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

it’s also not unique to messi I think. most good creative playmakers have lower work rate/run less. usually complimented in good teams by another workhorse midfielder who has twice the work rate of a normal midfielder
