## Transcript

[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls) All the records he's breaking now. Seeing him again with the national team, shining and scoring…

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=5) It's crazy, right? How old is Leo? Do you doubt him or not, Leo?

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=12) He turns 39 in a few days, if I'm not mistaken.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=14) I think his birthday is the day after tomorrow, but doubt him? Never.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=18) Right now, I remember watching the first game and seeing him in better physical shape than when he was in Qatar.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=24) Not because he was in bad shape, but it's the same version or even better.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=29) How he runs, how he fights. Do you think MLS helps with that?

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=34) What is the game like in MLS? People sometimes underestimate that, don't they?

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=39) Because they don't know MLS, how much running there is, what the matches are like, the physical demands it has.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=45) Do you think it benefited him in that sense?

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=48) Yes, 100%. I think that, in the end, you still end up setting your own bar.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=53) On any given day, you decide how competitive you want to be.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=57) If I'm in Spain and I decide not to be competitive and just walk, I'm going to do it.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=65) But if I create that winning mentality, like Jordi, Lucho, Busi, and Leo have, from every training session, that was one thing I realized.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XiKanHy3djF0/en/messi-with-argentina-his-performance-and-the-impact-of-mls?t=79) That's why they are who they are and achieved what they achieved.
