The leader of the Argentina national team Lionel Messi demonstrates the experience accumulated over many years.

The 39-year-old forward became the top scorer of the World Cup group stage, scoring as many as 6 goals.

However, even when aiming to shine in attack, the veteran does not need to expend all his energy.

It is estimated that Messi averages only 8.1 kilometers per match and placed last among 618 tournament players who spent at least 90 minutes on the field.

On July 4, Argentina will try to defeat the Cape Verde team in the round of 16.
