Inter Miami and Lionel Messi are having an important month in terms of results. The Florida team benefited greatly from the arrival of the Argentine and now, he is positioned as one of the club's most essential players. After winning the Leagues Cup, the big goal is to reach the MLS playoffs and therefore, Gerardo Martino talks about the important role that Messi has.

 

Tata gave special value to the victory without his greatest figure: "For a group of footballers who work so hard and are teammates with the best in the world, when they don't play, it is comforting for them to know that they can win." But then he drew attention with a curious definition of what Messi means to the franchise: "He is the protagonist and we are supporting actors who are enjoying it."

On the other hand, he was respectful and cautious regarding the situation of the '10' in the Argentine National Team: “It does not seem prudent to have to talk to the other Leo (Scaloni) between the National Team matches, they are doing their thing and us in ours. The Leo player knows that he has to deliver there and here when he returns he will do it here.”

 

When does Messi play again with Inter Miami?

The man from Rosario has already shown that he does not want to miss any game with either the National Team or the Herons, but fatigue began to take its toll on his body and there is no doubt that there are games in which he will have to rest. One of them could be September 16 against Atlanta United, which will be played as a visitor and four days after Argentina's demanding clash with Bolivia in La Paz.
