Gerardo Martino's words about Messi after qualifying for the Leagues Cup final
Lionel Messi shone in the Leagues Cup, and Tata Martino doesn't hide his admiration.
Inter Miami managed to beat Philadelphia Union without much trouble, with goals from Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Josef Martínez and David Ruíz. Now, those from Florida are preparing for the final, which will be against Nashville, who eliminated Monterrey from Mexico. After the game, Tata Martino spoke:
"The incidence that it has in the group. Not only Leo (Messi), Busquets and Jordi Alba. All this is contagion for the teammates. The team has changed and the squad has changed, we have a competitive squad", highlighted Tata, leaving It is clear that the 10 not only contributed goals, but also made everyone change the defeatist dynamic to gain confidence with a view to achieving great goals.
In order not to confuse the rivals with the color of his clothing, the Rosario manager was given a t-shirt so that he contrasts. However, instead of putting it on correctly, he just placed it on her neck. When asked about this curiosity, Martino replied: "It was because I am a little chubby and it is tight on me."
When will the final be played?
The Leagues Cup final will be played this Saturday, August 19, at Geodis Park, home of Nashville United. It will be barely the third game that Lionel Messi plays away from his home, the DRV PNK Stadium. Will Lionel be able to win his first trophy in the United States?
