He refused to Messi's arrival in USA and doesn't want to play with him, now he's fighting for his life in a hospital

The news that Lionel Messi would sign for Inter Miami caused a festive atmosphere throughout the Florida city. Even the Miami Heat, an NBA team, welcomed the captain of the Argentine National Team in one of the final games that they would end up losing against the Denver Nuggets. However, there are always exceptions to the rule, and Nick Marsman is one of them.

This Dutch goalkeeper works for Inter Miami and will be a teammate of the greatest Ballon d'Or winner. However, he declared at the time about the signing of La Pulga: "Personally I think the club is not ready for the arrival of Messi. We have a temporary stadium, people can get on the field and we go to the stadium without security ”.

Now, weeks after his controversial words, the goalkeeper was hospitalized for three days for an unusual reason: he was bitten by a poisonous spider in a Florida zoo. The 32-year-old player has already been discharged, although it is still unknown if he will play the next game against Philadelphia Union, next Saturday June 24, just on Messi's birthday.

Will Inter Miami look for a replacement for Marsman?

The club's idea is to build a competitive team around Messi, and the New Zealand goalkeeper has not lived up to expectations. Since he landed at Inter Miami, he has conceded 45 goals in 30 games played and has only managed to register eight unbeaten hurdles. This serves to explain why the Florida franchise ranks last in the Eastern Conference, and the board could hire a renowned goalkeeper.
