“The tables indicate (the moments). Theirs and ours”, wielded Gerardo Tata Martino, before making his official debut at the helm of Inter Miami. Thus, he graphed the opposite present that his team and Saint Louis City go through in Major League Soccer (MLS). And he was not wrong. The brand new set of the Rosario coach, who will present this Sunday to Lionel Messi and will receive it in last place in the Eastern Conference, lost away 3-0 against the leader of the West standings, Saint Louis City.
The difference in terms of the football presents of each of the teams was reflected very quickly in the result. Samuel Adeniran, at 28 and Tim Parker, at 40 minutes into the game, established the initial advantage for the local team, whose fans, due to an official provision, could not bring any outfit referring to Messi to the Citipark stadium.
It became clear after this meeting, in which he added his 11th winless game in MLSthat Miami will not only need the individual hierarchy of Messi and the contributions that the experienced Spanish international Sergio Busquets, the young Argentine bet Facundo Farías and perhaps Jordi Alba can make, if their incorporations materialize, but also You will need to strengthen different aspects of your game in order to get ahead.
One of them, at least from what was exposed on the field of one of the new franchises in the US championship, will be the passing game in defense. It is that this way Saint Louis reached its first two goals.
The first came after a corner kick from the left in which Adeniran beat Ecuadorian Dixon Arroyo with striking comfort in the jump. The rest happened after a corner from the opposite sector, in which Parker anticipated the entire defense of the pink box (which he wore black tonight).
The third and last conquest, meanwhile, took place at 34 minutes from the complement through a free kick that Eduard Löwen executed at the post guarded by Drake Callender, who made an attempt to clear the ball but failed.
Little could Benjamin Cremaschi do to prevent this adverse result. The 18-year-old boy born in Miami, the son of Argentines and who was summoned once by the Under 20s, was part of the starting team, but could not repeat his performance last Saturday, when he converted the 2-2 draw as a visitor against DC United, which represented the third consecutive equality for his team.
Tata Martino: “We wanted to give Messi a win”
After the win against Saint Louis City, Gerardo Martino regretted not having been able to dedicate a win to Messi, with whom he will meet again at Inter Miami after directing him in Barcelona and the Argentine national team.
“We would have wanted to give him a win for that presentation and we have not been able to do it,” lamented the ‘Tata’, driver of a team that added just 18 points in 22 games and accumulates the worst streak of games without winning in his four seasons of life .
Martino also pointed out: “We look to the future with hope which means that the best player in the world plays for our team, but also with the patience that we must have so that he gets physically well and can play at the right time”.
The presentation of Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi, who has already done some training in the franchise that has former English footballer David Beckham among its owners, will be officially presented this Sunday at the DRV PNK stadium, with a capacity for 18,000 spectators in Fort Lauderdale, about 50 kilometers north of Miami.
Baptized as “The Unveil” (The Revelation), the event will be broadcast on Apple TV + and will feature several musical shows, including those of Camilo, Ozuna, Tiago PZK and Paulo Londra.
The captain of the world champion Argentina team will be the emblem of the league during a key period for the expansion of soccer in the United States, which will host the 2024 Copa América, the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup. co-organized with Mexico and Canada.
Messi had his last official match in the friendly of the Argentine National Team against Australia in Beijing during the Asian tour of the Scaloneta, so now he must accelerate if he combines with the coach Gerardo Tata Martino to be part of the payroll in the match of the Next July 21 against Cruz Azul for the first date of the group stage of the Leagues Cup, a tournament played by the North American, Canadian and Mexican teams.
For now, the Rosario was made official this Saturday on the networks by Inter Miami with a video that has him as the protagonist in his final stretch. “Yes, guys, see you in Miami,” are the only words the Argentine star mentions, crossing his arms and wearing the ‘pink’ game shirt for the first time.
The delay in its publication was due to the fact that it was a condition to have signed the contract, which was delayed due to some bureaucratic issues until this Saturday.
The MLS is now entering a pause for its squads to compete alongside those of the Mexican league in the new Leagues Cup, on whose opening day on July 21 Messi’s debut with Inter against Cruz Azul is scheduled.
