That's what happens post 35 to athletes.
But the entire tour was just a ridiculous, stupid thing to do in Miami's first season with Messi. Get the team humming first; fix the deficiencies, win regularly in MLS. Then go touring around the world.
Even then, I question the wisdom of a tour in which only two games (El Salvador and Hong Kong IX) are guaranteed wins. Preseasons are about building confidence. Instead, they've gone without beating a single professional team (the Hong Kong IX are mostly retired players from Europe and the region) and have lost potential five key players.
Utter Madness.
It's like they're being run by MLSE or something.
