It is true that Major League Soccer or MLS USA has been away from our perception for a while. When Uncle Sam’s league hasn’t brought many stars to decorate the league in recent years, a strong man like Wayne Rooney has become a full-time manager.
But with the arrival of Lionel Messi, the world’s top superstar, MLS will return to our eyes once more.
And what are these things that Messi prepares to face? As a new member of Inter Miami
A Little Barcelona
Although not clearly said, but the way that David Beckham and his fellow shareholders (Jorge Mas, Jose Mas) tried to install a five-and-a-half-year-old club like Club Internacional de Futbol Miami or Inter. Miami also seems to be creating a “barcelona mockup” here.
Because following wasting time with the coach, the wheelchair does not go up (but close to Beckham) Phil Neville Stay for a long time, the new coach that the board has chosen to replace is Gerardo Martino A 60-year-old senior Argentinian coach who has worked with dozens of clubs. as well as taking over the national team Argentina (2014-2016) and Mexico (2019-2022) in the last decade
The arrival of Tata Martino also comes “significantly” when the two new players who step behind the DRV PNK Stadium are those with strong “Barca DNA”. Strong as Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets
Messi : before plunging Paris Saint-Germain Shockingly, Messi is the breaker and holds almost every club record. barca (Except just the clean sheet record), especially the number of games and goals that are unmatched following playing 778 games, scoring 672 goals between 2004 and 2021.
Busquets : After working hard for the team for 15 full years in the big team plus another 2-3 years in La Masia And accumulated a record of 722 games, the third highest in Barca, it’s time to open the door for a new challenge this summer. and headed to wear a pink and black dress to reunion with Messi
It is important that both Martino & Busquets & Messi The pair had previously worked together at the Nou Camp in the 2013/14 season, where Barca narrowly missed out on winning La Liga. with stumbles in a row in the last 3 games until being hit Atletico Madrid Offensively grabbed the trophy, only 3 points above Barca (as for the Copa del Rey, lost to Real Madrid in the final with Gareth Bale’s historic goal).
It’s funny that ten years later, 1 boss and 2 subordinates of Barca will come together once more in Uncle Sam’s land.
Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets Anyone else familiar with the name?
In addition to 1 new manager and 2 new superstars Messi & Busquets, here are some of the new friends who were previously at the DRV PNK Stadium.
• DeAndre Yedlin
The 30-year-old US national team center-back was previously grabbed by Tottenham Hotspur before making his name with Newcastle United for four years until moving from Galatasaray to his hometown last season in 2022.
• Sergei Kriftsov
The 32-year-old veteran Ukrainian defender spent more than ten years with Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Inter Miami earlier this year.
• Franco Negri
Argentina wing-back He was with many teams in his hometown before moving from Godoy Cruz to come here this year.
• Robert Taylor
Growing up in England, but playing for the Finnish national team. and there is a way of wandering It’s been for ten teams now at the age of 28, having been acquired by Inter Miami from SK Brann in Norway.
• Leonardo Campaya
The 22-year-old Ecuadorian striker was previously drawn to Wolverhampton Wanderers but never played for the first team before joining Inter Miami on loan, scoring 12 goals last season. eventually being bought out
• Joseph Martinez
The famous spearhead of Venezuela, who has played for the national team 63 times, made a name with Atlanta United for a long time 2017-2022 (111 goals in 6 years) before moving here and scoring 6 goals. The team’s goalscoring star is
It might be a small pity that Messi & Busquets didn’t make it in time. Gonzalo Higuain The legendary Argentine (and Real Madrid) striker has retired from football at the age of 35 following last season in 2022.
Only if following the news It is also interesting to see that there will be more free agent stars who have been brought to Inter Miami, such as Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba, Eden Hazard or even An. dress iniesta
Josef MartinezPuffy cheeks
As if Inter Miami were wasting their time with Phil Neville, it didn’t make sense. Until it becomes a bad joke of both Martino & Busquets & Messi that they suddenly come to the team that is the “plum” of MLS.
This 2023 season is already more than halfway through. “The Blackpink” (4th year running in MLS) got off to a good start, won. CF Montreal 2-0 followed by a win Philadelphia Union 2-0
but following It’s like taking the wrong drug, losing 6 matches in a row without shooting anyone up to 5 games.
During April-May, he struggled to win 3 games in a row, but that became the last laugh until today, losing 8 games and drawing 3 games.
Even though the performance is so bad Dropped down to hold the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference east zone (as well as being the bottom in the overall table) like this, but Becks had just given up on bouncing. Phil Neville Can only get out of the chair on June 1 and push the youth team coach Javier Morales Up to take care of the team
And before getting Gerardo Martino to start acting as a new permanent coach, it was just July 10 ago.
Luckily, however, Inter Miami (and that’s probably why Phil Neville is so calm) here. MLS “no relegation” There is no selection of the plum or the second of the plum or anyone. Relegated to the Second Division Adding or removing teams in MLS is limited to buying a franchise and queuing in.
Even if losing in a row for the last 12 games remaining, getting 10 shots per shot and not struggling to finish 15th in the eastern zone, it doesn’t have any negative effect — Inter Miami’s 2024 season is Will continue to play in MLS as usual
The only drawback of finishing low. Is not going to the finals MLS Cup Playoffs or miss the quota CONCACAF Champions Cup that’s all
(For this minute, FC Cincinnati is overwhelmingly the leader of the eastern zone. A type that should not be missed, finishing 1st, but when going to the championship round Let’s talk regarding it once more.)

Inter Miami confirmed in Messi’s unveiling news the other day that the 36-year-old’s first match with them will be once morest them in the League Cup group stage. Cruz Azul of Mexico this Friday, July 21, or the next match in the same cup with Atlanta United 25 Jul

The 2023 League Cup has 47 teams participating (29 USA, 18 Mexico), divided into 15 groups of 3 teams, with the top two 32 teams qualifying for the knockout stage (LAFC and Pachu). Ka got a bye to the final of 32 teams), then eliminated, selected according to international knockout football steps.

As for Inter Miami, they are in the same group as Cruz Azul and Atlanta United. which will play in a single meeting system There is no home and away like other cups.
The arrival of the League Cup caused MLS to order a mid-season break for all teams to play in this program for almost a full month, for example, in Inter Miami playing the last game, losing. St. Louis City SC 0-3 on July 15 and will return to kick once more. Charlotte FC 20 Aug Loei
In addition, Inter Miami is also on the list. US Open Cup which is the oldest knockout ball in the country Similar to the FA Cup, where Beck’s team has gone quite far this year. Reached the playoffs, where they face FC Cincinnati on Aug. 23.
If still pass It will be the first time that Inter Miami has played a cup final. which will compete with the winner of the pair between Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake
TOPSHOT-FBL-USA-MLS-MIAMI-MESSIThere are no “masters” here.
On the one hand, MLS doesn’t have relegation eliminations. and one aspect is If you settle down well Finding a point to change the form of playing well, Inter Miami still has a chance to be successful in the future.
That’s because this league doesn’t have “The official” who will reign alone Is a league that rotates alternately, complimenting true success and also found that during the last 1 decade, no club at all can defend the championship MLS Cup Yes — the latest is LA Galaxy 2011 and 2012 era David Beckham Still running with friends like Robbie Keane & Landon Donovan Over there (Thierry Henry is still at the New York Red Bulls)
These pictures mean that every team has the right to win success together. It depends on how well they can do in that season.
For this year, Messi came to take in the last 3 months of the season. His only duty is to get to know American Soccer as much as possible and win success in a cup game.
But next year and the next when he had begun to drag and slither and hunt the net from the beginning (Along with more star players being added), it’s not certain that Messi’s Inter Miami might be another team that can push into the MLS championship table.
