nor Luis Suarez, nor anybody else is gonna tell a hamstring how long it's gonna last, or a doctor how long it's gonna last.

Now, I'm all for having Lionel Messi peaking, but if he's gonna peak, he's gonna have to take care of himself.

And while I agree with Lizzie that nobody knows his body better than Lionel Messi, and nobody is better at managing

the quality of his minutes on the field.

Because if you watch Lionel Messi, he has become very selective as to when he sprints and when he doesn't.

There are many sprints in his game, but when he does it, he is very effective.

So he's very intelligent about understanding the needs and wants of his body.

Well, he's going to be even more intelligent in preparation for the World Cup, and they're going to need him to do so, because you just mentioned, they're going to want to play the finalissima.

He's going to want to be available for the opening of the stadium.

And they're going to want him to be at his peak for all of it.

And if that's going to be the case, then he's going to have to prioritize.

It's a game against AYCFC all that important in the middle of the regular season in Major League Soccer.

Well, maybe not.

Maybe this is not the thing that I prioritize.

I prioritize the finalisima.

I prioritize the opening of the stadium.

I prioritize the World Cup.

And once the World Cup is over, depending on how it goes, then Lionel Messi will make decisions as to how he manages the rest of the season.

I think he has understood how an MLS season peaks and the importance of an MLS season going into the playoff, not so much so what happens in April.

Well, I don't doubt that he knows.
