In the opposite direction, going to a less competitive league in the US could also help Lionel Messi. At the age of 36, “Leo” is of course unable to maintain a strong physical foundation like his youth.
Besides, going to the US to play football brings a fresh touch to a player who has become bored at PSG or before Barcelona. And thanks to that, Messi has the determination and ambition to devote more to Argentina.
