Having suffered a serious foot injury and unable to play at least until Christmas due to it, Lionel Messi is to blame for such a situation. This was stated by Fernando Signorini, a personal trainer of the Barcelona star.
In the match on November 10, the 26-year-old Argentine severely injured his left Achilles tendon and dropped out of the lineup for 6-8 weeks.
"He is a player who doesn't know how to control himself, because his passion for the sport is infinite. Someone has to set the limit for him. All these problems arose because of what he is. It's good when a player wants to play, but he also needs to know when to stop," - said F. Signorini.
Having re-injured his leg, L. Messi admitted that he had not fully recovered from the last injury, but rushed onto the field because last week was the last one to vote for the best player in the world, where Messi hopes to triumph for the fifth time.
According to the coach, over the past five years, Messi, who has had a huge workload and played a lot of matches, does not show mercy to himself.
"He needs to trust the people who take care of him. But the player himself also needs to know when to stop and rest," - said F. Signorini.
In turn, L. Messi stated that as long as he feels good, he doesn't count the minutes of play.
"As long as I feel good, I will play. I don't need any limits. There's no need to look for things that don't exist. My plan is to play football when my body feels ready for it," - Messi told the Argentine media.
