Agency -Major Soccer League club Inter Miami coach Tata Martino has said that Argentine star Lionel Messi will miss three games this year. In an interview, Martino said Messi will miss three games against Miami for national team duty.
Speaking to the club’s official website after the Major Soccer League win over New York Red Bulls, Martino said Messi will miss at least three games for Miami this year as he is busy with the Argentine national team.
Martino said that taking into account the time when Messi is going to play for the national team, he should start playing in rotation from now on. Martino made it clear that they should be able to get good results even without Messi.
“We put a lot of value in this win because this [playing with a rotation] is something we need to get used to because Leo is going to join his national team. He’ll miss at least three games this year and next year it will be the same, and we need to understand that when he’s not here the team still needs to provide results.”,Martino said.
Miami brought Messi off the bench against New York. This was done to give rest to Messi . Messi even entered the field from the bench and managed to score in that match.
