Miami, Which Plays During the A-Match Period

Miami, Which Plays During the A-match Period... "We Have to Win Without Messi"

Messi scores 9 consecutive offensive points with his MLS debut goal

“Even without Lionel Messi, you have to get used to winning,” said Tata Martino, head coach of Inter Miami, one of the most famous football clubs on the planet thanks to Messi.

Miami won 2-0 in a Major League Soccer (MLS) away game against the New York Red Bulls on the 27th (Korean time).

Miami, who started the game with Messi on the bench, took the lead with Diego Gomes' goal in the 37th minute of the first half. 바카라사이트

In the 15th minute of the second half, Messi, who was substituted for Leonardo Campana, stepped on the ground and scored a goal that put a wedge in Miami's victory in the 44th minute of the second half.

Benjamin Kremaski's pass was connected with an accurate shot and scored.

It was an offensive point in 9 consecutive games after advancing to the U.S. and was his debut goal in MLS.

At the post-match press conference, coach Martino attached considerable significance to scoring the winning goal without Messi.

"Messi is going to join the Argentina national team.

We have to get used to playing without him, so I want to add a lot of value to this victory," he said.

You need to know," he said.

In fact, coach Martino's remarks may not be readily understood by fans who do not know much about American professional soccer.

This is because it is common for at least the first division of each country's professional soccer league to take a break during the A-match period set by the International Football Federation (FIFA).

But professional soccer in the US is different.

From the time of its launch until now, MLS has rarely been stopped during the A-match period.

Even during the World Cup, MLS takes only two weeks off from the opening ceremony.

Even if a number of key players are summoned to the national team and cannot play for their team, it is taken for granted that the league schedule is digested with only substitute players.

Even during the next A-match period, from September 4 to 12, MLS will proceed with the league schedule.

Miami faces LAFC and Sporting Kansas City in turn during this period.

Coach Martino said, "Messi will miss at least three games this season due to the Argentine national team," and emphasized repeatedly, "We have to get used to winning without Messi."

Miami, which was at the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference before Messi joined, rose one notch to 14th with the victory that day.

Messi made his debut to American fans on the 22nd of last month in the Leagues Cup group stage against Cruz Azul, and started off with a good feeling by scoring the winning goal just before the end of the match.

Starting with this, Messi scored 7 goals in a row in the Leagues Cup, scoring a total of 10 goals and 1 assist, and Miami won the championship like a fairy tale.

In the US Open Cup semifinal against Cincinnati on the 24th, Messi led the team to the final with 2 assists with an accurate cross in a situation where the team was trailing 0-2.
