"Messi is already exhausted arriving to this World Cup. The damage has already been done, and it is irreversible," Signorini said.
"(FIFA) are worried about their anti-doping controls, but they don't give a damn when players play 70 times a year and in between have to travel all over the place."
The veteran trainer, who is a long time companion and associate of coach Diego Maradona, did however also speak of his excitement in seeing the Barcelona playmaker in action in South Africa.
"My problem, which I've already told Lionel, is that he's going to make my retinas fall out! I cannot believe the whirlwind that is his step and movement. He is almost a genetic miracle, as in one movement he makes six or seven," signed off.
