Figures out why Mess just walks in the field... statistics that have left everyone speechless.

However, what has attracted the most attention is not just goals, but the way Mess is playing.

During the matches, 38-year-old is often seen walking through the field, away from the action and without getting involved in the dam. At first glance it seems that it is not part of the game, but when it finds the right space, it explodes with decisive movements that change the course of the match.

It's not coincidence, it's a thought-out strategy.

Over the years, Mess has adapted his game style. He is no longer the explosive driver that covered every corner of the field, but a footballer who manages energy perfectly to be crucial in key moments.

According to FIFA statistics, the Messi ranks only 343rd for the distance traveled to this World. In five matches he's only traveled 15 miles.

But the most surprising statistics were discovered by Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.

Speaking of BBC Radio 5 Live, Balague made it known that on average, Mess travels only six miles [6.6 km] per match, while a total of 62 percent of that distance is spent walking.

According to him, this way of energy management can extend to the international career, Telegrafi reports, broadcasts Periscope.

If he takes the walking rate from 62 to 75 percent, he'll still be there. He is the world's best scorer, has been the best goalist in the MLS for two years, and the best in the qualifying", Balague said.

The major merit is also attributed to selective Lionel Scalon, who has built a system where the rest of the team covers more ground, makes presgues and physical performance, leaving Mess freedom to save energy and be crucial in the most important moments.

So far, this formula has proved perfect. The class continues to make the difference without having to run throughout the game, showing that tactical intelligence and play - reading can be as important as physical intensity. /Periscope/
