Lionel Messi hoped to be able to please his supporters in the USA, during Argentina’s North American tour. But unfortunately he will be absent.
Certainly, Lionel Messi has been disappointing in recent months. Last February, while Inter Miami was on an Asian tour, the Argentine legend did not play in his club’s match in Hong Kong. The fans came in numbers to see him play, and felt wronged.
Result: the incident, which became diplomatic as it grew, forced the Argentine federation to cancel its Chinese tour. The Albiceleste was due to face Nigeria in Hangzhou and Ivory Coast in Beijing, but ultimately turned around. A hard blow for the federation, which relies heavily on its commercial partnerships in China.
The misfortune of some making the happiness of others, Argentina will finally play these friendly matches in March in the USA, once morest El Salvador and Costa Rica. Matches which will be held in Philadelphia and Los Angeles… but during which Lionel Messi’s lovers will once once more not see him in action.
In agreement with Inter Miami, it was indeed decided that the eight-time Ballon d’Or would not play in these friendly matches. Messi missed the match once morest DC United last weekend with a hamstring injury. He also missed the CONCACAF Champions League match last week.
In 3 MLS matches, Lionel Messi has scored 3 goals this season, to which can be added 2 goals in 2 Champions League matches. Inter Miami therefore does not want to take any risks with its captain and top scorer…
