Coach Martino’s Message: Embrace the Challenge of Winning Without Messi as Leo Misses 3 Matches to Serve the Nation with Inter Miami

Since Lionel Messi arrived here, Inter Miami has won 9 games. Can the team of manager David Beckham succeed without Leo, though?

With and without Lionel Messi on the team, Inter Miami presents entirely different images. Beckham’s squad had only won one out of every ten games prior to the Argentine superstar’s arrival, was last in the US Professional Championship, and was in danger of going nowhere.

Messi continues to score for Inter Miami.

But Inter Miami has shown a completely different face ever since Messi entered and made his debut. With nine victories, the Miami team established themselves as an unstoppable force. As a result, they won the Leagues Cup, the club’s first championship in its five-year history.

What if Messi is not on Inter Miami’s roster? The response will come in a flash. The 36-year-old superstar will likely attend the national team gatherings in October and November in addition to the gathering in September next year. The American Professional Championship was still going on at that time as normal.

Messi won’t be available for Inter Miami for at least three games as a result. And this presents a significant issue for Tata Martino, a teacher and coach. Keep in mind that Messi is having a bad impact at the DRV PNK field by contributing to 11 goals in just 9 games.

Coach Martino commented on this, saying: “It’s critical that the team values and strives for winning in this manner (winning without Messi in the lineup).” Because the Inter Miami players must become accustomed to that.

Leo (Lionel Messi) would miss at least three games, said Messi’s native countryman. He will be selected for the national squad since Argentina needs to win this time around in order to advance to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September, October, and November.

Inter Miami must develop winning strategies without Messi.

Inter Miami’s slender prospects of making it to the MLS playoffs were nourished by a 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls, which lifted them out of last place in the Eastern Conference. Martino’s club is 10 points back of the playoff group with 11 games left in the regular season.

Additionally, coach Martino discussed the necessity of giving Messi a break. Messi has logged more than 700 minutes in approximately a month. A 36-year-old guy who plays the offensive front like “Leo” can’t handle it.
