Inter Miami will go in search of the second title in its short history as a club in the US Open Cup final against the Houston Dynamo at the DRV PNK Stadium. Since the arrival of Lionel Messi with his former Barcelona teammates such as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, the Tata Martino Herons are encouraged to dream big and go for more. Another of the reinforcements for the pink team arrived from the land of the world champions. Facundo Farías, a skilled midfielder from Colón de Santa Fe, is Leo’s natural replacement.

“The impetus to go to Miami was him (for Messi), to be with Leo, who undoubtedly helped in making the decision. “I’m trying to enjoy myself, with good players by my side and a great coach,” said La Joya in the run-up to a new final. “The truth is that I needed a change, to leave Santa Fe. Thank God I’m fine here and enjoying myself to the fullest, in the MLS that grows more every day,” continued the 21-year-old player in dialogue with the Sacá del Medio program, which is broadcast on Radio Continental (AM 590).

Farías’s adaptation to hot Florida was not so difficult, since according to the soccer player, “in Santa Fe it is hot and humid, so because of the climate it was not difficult for me to adapt and I feel happy.” What the young attacker does deny is the intensity with which matches are played in the MLS. “It’s very physical, they always run 90 minutes. That’s something that’s a bit difficult for me. Plus, the weather kills you with humidity. But we are on the right path,” he noted.

Regarding the confrontation against Dynamo for the US Open Cup and the possible absence of Messi among the starters due to his discomfort in the hamstring of his right leg, Farías announced that Martino did not give the team and only on the day of the match (Wednesday) The players will know who goes out on the field.

On the other hand, his meeting with Messi was special because it took place a few days before Inter Miami played against Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final. “I think Leo knew who he was. He is very human, he treats us like one of his own and he is aware of everything that happens in football. He received Toto (Avilés) and me very well. He is a very good teammate,” highlighted the Santa Fe native who has scored three goals and one assist in just seven games in the United States.

“I took a photo with him, I had the opportunity to reach the final the day before and take a photo with the trophy and him. We are a little embarrassed to ask him for things, but I have him close because I have 11 (shirt number) and I sit next to him. I have friends who annoy me with asking him for something, but I tell them no,” said the man who was wanted by Boca Juniors and River Plate in the last transfer markets with a laugh.
