The Inter Miami coach's praise for Lionel Messi for deciding to leave the last game

Lionel Messi came out in the first minutes of Inter Miami's most recent match. The Argentine player was returning to the starting lineup with the team, however, things did not go as expected and the footballer asked for his change in the 36th minute. This worried the team's fans, who thought that the footballer was had been seriously injured. However, it was an annoyance that the player had and that he preferred not to risk.

When Tata was asked at a press conference if he was going to take the Rosario player into account against Orlando City, he clarified: “No, no, neither of them,” adding to his gaze Jordi Alba, who has fatigue muscular. "In principle, Leo with the issue of the old scar, Jordi with muscle fatigue... Day by day we will evaluate," he expressed, already with his sights set on Wednesday's final. They do this so that both of them arrive fully fit for one of the most important matches of the season, which is the final of the US Open Cup against the Houston Dynamo on the 27th of this month.

The medical reports showed positive results: there is no rupture of fibers, he is not torn and, according to Argentine journalist Federico Bueno, he only has a scar from an old tear that sometimes bothers him when he is overloaded. In fact, according to TyC Sports and the club's own coach, his prescience in the US Open Cup final is a fact. We will have to wait if the coach decides to place him as a starter or will wait a few minutes to enter him.

What message did Martino send about Messi?

“I haven't seen Leo just yet. It seems to me that his experience gives him the ability, even within a game, to know when to stop, when to say enough is enough. It seems prudent to me that at this point in his career, the player exercises it more than ever. We want to see him on the courts for more time and in that sense, I am the one who has to help him. It's good for me that he becomes aware of when there are moments when you have to stop," said Gerardo Martino during Inter Miami's training session prior to facing Orlando City.
