Lionel Messi has placed himself in an important way in the MLS, the Argentine soccer player already had his official debut with Inter Miami in the American league, and despite not starting, Messi managed to score and an unreal pass before his goal. It is that the immediate impact of the arrival of Messi has changed the face of Inter Miami and this has made many praise it.

 

Gerardo Martino, current coach of Inter Miami is a person who knows Messi very well. Beyond being an Argentine soccer legend, Martino trained him in 2014 at FC Barcelona, in a fleeting step that he had for the club, but together they won a title. Now, they meet again at Inter Miami, and for Martino it seems like the first time he saw him.

In the Inter Miami training session, Gerardo Martino spoke to many media outlets, such as ESPN, and said that after Messi's last match, "it's the first time I've seen a play at least 10 times and I still can't believe how it happened." He made that pass." This is referring to Messi's first goal in MLS, which previously had a brilliant snooker-style touch from Messi to Cremaschi.

 

What next for Lionel Messi?

After the clash against Nashville this Wednesday, Inter Miami will spend 11 days away from home. They will have to cross the entire country to face Los Angeles FC on September 4, and they will not return to the DRV PNK Stadium until the 10th of the same month, when they host Sporting Kansas City, in a new MLS match.
