On the poster, the little fan, who was probably watching football with her father, wrote: “Messi as President of the United States. He is the GOAT. He will not lie to the people, and he is a great leader!!”.
This photo has caused a stir on social networks when it spread at a dizzying rate. Of course, it was accompanied by many witty and funny comments about this girl’s extremely funny idea.
Since coming to America to play, the 37-year-old Argentine star has truly conquered young fans in America. Wherever he plays, he attracts young fans and their families to watch.
Another impressive image is that of a young fan who wrote on a poster that caused a stir: “I skipped a day at school to go watch Messi play.”
Also in the match where Inter Miami lost 1-2 to Atlanta United on November 3, forcing them to play the third match in a series of “3 matches” in the first round of the MLS Cup (American professional soccer league) play-off at 8:00 on November 10 at Chase Stadium to compete for a ticket to the next round, Messi was very angry after the match, he went straight into the tunnel to the locker room.
However, when passing by a ball boy on the field, the boy reached out to comfort the Argentine star, and he immediately responded with a light high five. This image also left many good impressions of Messi with young fans, regardless of the unhappy developments of the match.
Messi is also a regular at Inter Miami’s youth academy matches. Immediately after returning to Miami from an away match in Atlanta, the famous player went out to support the U.9 and U.13 teams in which his sons play.
Messi and his teammates will have about a day off after the away loss to Atlanta United. Then, from the beginning of this week, they will return to training to prepare for the third decisive match with this opponent at the weekend.
Inter Miami’s biggest hope is the return of veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets, who missed the last match with a minor injury and pneumonia.
Without this key player, Inter Miami’s midfield and defense became uncertain, and Atlanta United took advantage of the opportunity to score 2 goals to turn the game around and equalize the results after 2 matches (each team had 1 win with a score of 2-1).
“Busquets had some health problems and was injured in the previous match. He had a fever and did not train all week so he could not play. However, he is now better. Busquets will return to training this week. I am sure he will be available for the upcoming key match,” Inter Miami coach Tata Martino said.
In response to concerns that Inter Miami will miss out on a ticket to the MLS Cup playoffs after losing to Atlanta United, coach Tata Martino expressed optimism: “I have full confidence in my players. They will overcome difficulties. In the past, we have overcome many situations that were much more difficult than this one. Therefore, I am sure Messi will lead his teammates to victory in the key match and win a ticket to the next round.”
If they do advance, Messi and Inter Miami will have a shot at the MLS Cup playoff final and Eastern Conference title, as they could face Orlando City SC or Charlotte FC in the semifinals (both also playing a third match).
Meanwhile, in the other bracket, the defending champion Columbus Crew was officially eliminated after 2 losses to New York Red Bulls. In the semi-finals, New York Red Bulls will meet FC Cincinnati or New York City FC (the pair also played a decisive 3rd match).
