Ultimatum of David Beckham to Blaise Matuidi: Inter Miami needs his leadership to get to playoffs

On Sunday, David Beckham's Inter Miami will visit Toronto for week 22 of Major League Soccer. They are obligated to win if they want to continue to have chances of making it to the playoffs. David Beckham, the club's owner, said that this match is a test for Blaise Matuidi.

The world champion with France in the 2018 Russia World Cup will have to show all his experience so that he can guide the team towards a victory that is almost mandatory. The former Juventus midfielder admitted that they should play the game thinking that it is a final. He claims that the squad feels this game that way.

The Uruguayan coach Diego Alonso supported Blaise Matuidi and said that the role that the Frenchman plays in the locker room is very important and also highlighted how he continues to play soccer and give everything for the team as if he was still 20 years old and hadn't won anything from what he has achieved in his successful career.

On Sunday Blaise Matuidi's Inter Miami will visit Toronto for MLS week 22 in search of a playoffs spot. The match will be played at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium, in Connecticut, since Toronto cannot play in Canada due to the Covid pandemic. Inter Miami will have the absence of defenders Leandro Gonzalez Pirez and Andres Reyes, both with accumulation of yellow cards, and Nicolas Figal, injured.
