Of course, Martino acknowledged that Messi has had a significant drain on energy in the first two games of the year.
“We have resorted to him in every match and that has caused him too much wear and tear.. We have to recover that the team finds it to make plays and to finish plays. I feel that in these two games he has had too much wear and tear,” he said.
