Lionel Messi completely changed the face of Inter Miami. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) managed to get his new team out of the hole they had fallen into and gave them two wins in a row, first against Cruz Azul in his debut and then against Atlanta United. Now, unfortunately for the '10', after both games he received hard news that did not allow him to celebrate his successes 100%.

In the first place, after beating Cruz Azul in agony with his goal from a free kick at minute 94, but after the match the serious injury to the defender Ian Fray in the cruciate ligament of one of his knees was confirmed. It was precisely to him that Leo dedicated the victory both in his post-match statements and in the photo in the locker room (he held his teammate's shirt).

Now, after the win over Atlanta, Josef Martínez spoke on the field of play and opened the door for a possible exit amid the rumors that Luis Suárez is approaching in this same transfer market. Logically, the arrival of the Pistolero would make Lionel happy, but apparently that would lead to the departure of the Venezuelan, who proved to be a close friend of Messi in these early days.

What did Josef Martinez say?

"When you play with a player like that you always have to be 'ready' (ready). I thank God for allowing me these moments, regardless of how long it lasts or how long it doesn't. You have to enjoy it because not all players have that possibility. You have to learn from the best in the world”, stated Josef. In addition, he assured: "I know that many changes are coming."
