Messi is half Italian alsoIt makes absolute sense that messi's diet guy would be italian.

Yeah and I agree with all of that. My point is simply that it sucks for us that Messi is so tired as he is now, as he's looking as exhausted as he did at the end of the WC, but instead of getting a vacation we're in the home stretch of an intense season, and Messi is probably not willing to rest in any game until the end.
Which is the reason I am so incredibly glad that Lucho and his team are monitoring the physical exertion of our players and managing it accordingly. So far they have done an absolute stellar job of keeping the team fresh and injury free. Busquets and Albas injuries were out of their control, as Busquets was tackled badly and Alba ran like his life depended on it against Ukraine.
So I'm optimistic that they have a plan on how to keep Messi as fresh as possible for the rest of the season. The team is resting today for instance, and tomorrow there's a normal training day with tactical practice before the Espanyol game. I hope Messi is taking advantage of his day off and gets some rest with his family. I'm sure he does.
Thinking about it, it's probably not a coincidence that Messi went to Italy to meet up with his dietitian just now. The last time he really looked full of energy was against City at home, and since then he has felt the decline in energy and is now doing something about it.
I think they planned out a complete diet for him at the start of the season that for sure helped to make him leaner, quicker and more agile again - areas where he was lacking last season. But, it could be that as the intensity has been ramping up towards the end of the season, with two games a week being the norm, the diet now needs some adjusting as it perhaps gives him too little to work with in regards to calories. He does look too thin now, so it could be that some of the tiredness he has shown during recent games is partly down to him not eating enough to compensate for the increased activity.
If true, that would be awesome news, because it means that he will soon become more energetic and strong just by adjusting his diet, and not necessarily just by resting more. I mean, if a part of why he's feeling tired is down to not eating right, then by all means fix that.
Time for him to eat a pizza - doctors order!
