Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are currently on vacation, because, despite the fact that Major League Soccer continues, the reality is that Inter Miami did not manage to qualify for the playoffs and therefore, they will no longer play any official match for at least four months.

Inter Miami, faced with the situation, organized a series of friendly matches in Asia, particularly in China. However, now Lionel Messi and the club have canceled the second match, however, it is not yet known what the real reason is.

Inter Miami communicated it through an official statement on social media: “We are sorry that the second leg of Inter Miami Football Club’s trip to China will not be held in Chengdu due to various reasons. We ask for your understanding,” the tour’s organizers said in a statement on Friday.

This November 5, Inter Miami would visit China to face Qingdao Jonoon, and in addition, they had already scheduled the second match against Chengdu Better City FC, however, this would have been the one that has been canceled, according to the report on social networks.

Messi explained his adaptation to the United States:

"It was much easier than we thought, because we had had the experience of changing cities from Barcelona to Paris and it had been complicated. This was totally different"
