Messi used to have a smaller area of action, while being more active inside that area. Under Valverde he went everywhere, big distances, at slow pace and intensity.

Messi was everywhere because he needed to drop deep and bring the ball in dangerous area. There was no tactics and no players to do that. Hopefully FDJ can do that and new coach will develop somebody else to do that to so Messi can stay more focused on 3rd part od field, to say attacking area.
