Tata Martino, the coach of Inter Miami, claims that the ex-Barcelona trio of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba are “making problems” for him.

The Herons defeated Philadelphia Union convincingly 4-1 on Tuesday night to secure a spot in the 2023 Leagues Cup final. Josef Martinez, Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and David Ruiz all scored for the Herons. Martino’s players put on a thorough display that proved they are much more than just Messi, even though the Argentine star has inspired them. The squad manager praised everyone’s contributions but acknowledged that he now has a lot of team selection issues.

Leo and Josef typically take part in the goals. There has been development because Benja [Cremaschi] recently scored; today, David scored from behind, and Jordi scored while playing defense. And that, in my opinion, is crucial for any squad,” added Martino.

“It’s true that the roster has changed, but the team has also changed. Today’s roster is considerably more competitive, which makes it difficult for the coach to decide which squad to field.

Local product Ruiz is thrilled to play with Messi, Busquets, and Alba and acknowledged that the younger players rely heavily on the counsel of their three more experienced teammates.

A much has changed. Everyone is prepared to compete in every event, take every match, and triumph in every final because they all have a winning mentality. When asked about the former Barca trio’s effect, he remarked, “They’re athletes who clearly just want to give guidance.

We try to run everywhere because we’re youthful and whatnot. They basically told us to hold our positions more firmly since the ball will eventually find us. Stop chasing the ball so hard that you’re only trapping yourself, and similar stuff.

When Inter Miami faces Nashville in the Leagues Cup final on Saturday evening, Messi will be hoping to win his first championship with the team.
