The player in question was probably most responsible for Charlotte's first goal.
The player in question was probably most responsible for Charlotte's first goal.

Lionel Messi started again this Saturday at Inter Miami after several games without playing or playing just a few minutes entering the second half. The Bank of America Stadium was the stage in the south. Leo was playing a match again with the Florida team shirt, which faced Charlotte FC. And although the expectation was very great for the return of the best player in the world and the greatest of all time, the truth is that the local team quickly took the advantage. Leo cannot do it alone and one of his teammates was exposed.

 

In the match played this Saturday, the local team arrived with a chance of qualifying for the next round of Major League Soccer, while Leo's Inter Miami already knew that they had no chance of entering and that this was their last official duel until next February 2024. Without a doubt, Messi's absence due to his right hamstring injury had too much weight on the Florida pink team.

It is clear that without Messi, Gerardo el Tata Martino's team was much inferior to what it showed in the first moments of the Argentine player's arrival in the United States. At the time, Las Garzas had won the Leagues Cup, being their first official title in their short history. Now, without him, he couldn't win. In fact, against Cincinnati, before Leo traveled to play with the Argentine National Team, he had not been able to win either, even though he had had 40 minutes of play.

 

The player who proved not to be up to par in Messi's team

At 13 minutes into the match, Charlotte FC (team where Argentine Enzo Copetti plays) took the lead through Kerwin Vargas' goal. Although there were several errors by the team, the truth is that the one that weighed the most was that of defender DeAndre Yedlin, who ate a basic fake, showing that he was afraid of the ball and that he is not up to the task of being a teammate of the best in the world like Messi.
