The leader of the "Barcelona" team, Lionel Messi, who is playing superbly this season, feels that he can perform even better.
Therefore, the 30-year-old Argentine does not want to waste his energy on less important matches and asked the club's coach, Ernesto Valverde, to allow him to rest and not appear in the upcoming Tuesday's Spanish Cup match against the "Murcia" team.
The recovered striker hopes to shine in the remaining matches of this year, and according to the Argentine, his team's friends are capable of defeating the "Murcia" team alone.
Earlier, E.Valverde hoped that L.Messi would play the best season of his career:
"I hope he scores 200 goals! The forward improves records every day that seemed impossible to beat."
In the "La Liga" championship, the footballer has scored 11 goals in 8 matches so far, and added three more shots in the UEFA Champions League.
