Lionel Messi is a competitive animal who wants to continue winning everything at 36 years old despite having won the World Cup, Copa América, Champions League and eight Ballon d'Ors, among many other titles. Lionel Messi did not go to Inter Miami on vacation and his anger when he loses even friendlies is undeniable. Now, while he is on vacation, very bad news comes to him from the United States.
In recent weeks, the possibility of Messi not playing in the next edition of the US Open Cup, the oldest tournament in the American country and which has just had the Herons as runner-up, has been intensely debated. With Leo, those led by Gerardo Martino managed to eliminate Cincinnati in the semifinals and reached the final, but without Lionel Messi things were different.
Although the decisive match was played at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, the venue where Inter Miami is home, the pink franchise lost the match against Houston Dynamo in the absence of the captain of the Argentine National Team, who was not available due to that famous scar. suffered with the Albiceleste that made him miss several matches in the USA. Now, according to Bolavip, the final decision of the United States Federation was that this competition be contested by MLS NEXT Pro clubs. That is, Leo will not be able to take revenge for the final that his club could not win.
While the news is not good for Lionel, he also has a good side to him. On the one hand, it will lighten the calendar in a year in which Inter Miami will have several competitions, while, at the same time, it will be able to rest before playing the Copa América with Argentina, since this competition had matches scheduled for the 7th and 22nd of May, the latter being less than a month before the start of the continental competition, which will begin on June 20.
