This is so tragic to me, I remember say to myself that he wasn’t injury prone at all before 2018 since he always seemed to bounce back after being clattered all the time, dude was alway in the top 10 most fouled any given year :( His foot never was the same after the first injury
People overestimate the impact of diet and lifestyle and underestimate genetics & just plain luck when it comes to injuries. Some people just have extremely resilient bodies and some people people bodies just can’t take the stress.
As a software engineer, I’ve seen people who take frequent breaks, maintain good posture, do yoga etc struggle with RSI and others can sit on a chair for 12 hours with almost no breaks and be completely fine.
Extremely strong Core strength. Ronaldo has it and Messi has it.
Way more than that, lmao. All professional players have insanely strong cores, this is not special and will not be the difference maker to the degree we are seeing in terms of longevity.
In basketball. LeBron james and Steph curry have it too.
Irrelevant, take your sports that nobody cares about outta here.
Messi is blessed in terms of genetics, very professional, and also walks less than the keeper in a lot of matches he participates. His playstyle with nearly 0 defensive duties certainly helped his longevity

He was literally kicked 3 times in a row in that january 2019 injury mentioned in the picture, Ligue 1 is a butchers league.
I guess at some point his lifestyle and diet have had consequences on his longevity.

Dude trashed his body and parties too hard.
Absolutely no pity
Normally I don’t say stuff like this, but who wants pity from an American soccer fan bro
Insone think he’s injury prone, he just get hit a lot more then then other players. He’s hunted in the field.
The bugger reason is his lack of focus on fitness and partying style, there is no reason he would get more hit than most.
Messi gets hit as often or even more and never picked up the same injuries.
That always seemed to be a mystery to me that messi is always so healthy. I would love an expert to chime in as to what the difference is.
body fortified by years of hgh

And Neymar is Brazilian. The refs have different tanks in fouls when the player is Brazilian.

He’s smaller so people don’t hit as hard. People should have seen Ronaldo in EPL pre Madrid. He was getting hacked so hard.
