It's revealed what Tata Martino said to his players so they don't depend on Messi in every game

Inter Miami managed to beat New York in a very even match, but that Lionel Messi managed to settle at the end. The Argentine did not start as a starter, due to a more than necessary rest in the last 9 games, however, the coach had to bring him onto the field, although in reality the team was already winning 1-0 without him.

Messi entered the field of play with an advantage for Inter Miami after a goal by Paraguayan Diego Gómez at minute 37 after controlling the ball in the area and defining with a left-footed shot from grass level to make it 0-1 in what was also his debut in the MLS after arriving this summer from Libertad in his country. Martino reacted to the match and seems to like what he sees.

“I think good, we worked well, we were solid. We had two chances, we did what we had. It is always important to score goals. New footballers must have more and more confidence”, assured Gerardo Martino. In addition, the player Facundo Farías confessed to the MLS microphones about what the coach said before the game that Messi would start on the bench.

What did Martino tell the players before the game?

“It is a team that plays very well. We are very happy to win. To reach the playoffs you have to win games. The coach asked us the usual, intensity to attack, but having the ball and being patient. Today we were able to do it and we got the 3 points. Today is also our time to shine in these circumstances. However, Leo always gives that plus”, shared Facundo Farías from Inter Miami to MLS channels.
