Why Does Leo Messi Avoid The Ball For The First 5 Minutes Of All His Games?

Lionel Messi has been a very hard working player for Argentina, Barcelona, and PSG, but why does he walk around the first five minutes of every match? Lionel Messi clearly isn’t lazy, so what is the Paris Saint Germain forward doing in these five minutes? In this week’s Justin’s Case, Justin investigates what Messi is doing during the first five minutes of football matches.

Having turned 30 this year and my drop in stamina due to lack of activity during Covid times, I often mimick Ozils game where he intentionally overloads one area of the pitch to draw in opponents to release his team mates in space on the other side.

Yup he’s figuring out where the spaces will be and how the defence has been told to react. He’s checking zonal marking and where defenders will follow and not follow. He’s checking the midfield and seeing where the spaces are that he can exploit based on their tactics. In reality all players should be doing this and world class players all do to some extent but it’s more noticeable for him I think because he quite literally walks around inconspicuously lol
