«Well, of course, with age, you lose what you had in youth, such as speed, reaction time, the ability to see the game and make decisions faster. Sometimes your mind is faster than your legs. I’ve always tried to overcome this and continue to try to be in the best shape, to make the most of my physical abilities, my game, and adapt to new circumstances,» Messi said in an interview with NBC Sports.
