Miami played Thursday in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and is in the middle of a stretch of five games in 14 days.

«Luis [Suarez]Leo [Messi], all the players who have played a lot of minutes, we will try to manage their playing time so that they can perform well. “It’s a long-term decision and it’s only just beginning,” said the team’s assistant coach, Javi Moralez, in comments relayed by journalist José Armando on Saturday.

Messi has three goals and an assist in three games this MLS season. As for the Uruguayan, he has found the back of the net twice since the start of the campaign.

A match like any other

On the Bleu-Blanc-Noir side, Courtois recalled that despite the abundance of stars in the Miami team, this match will be like the others.

“They are the best players in the world. Now, we have a collective and we will try to minimize the appearances of play where these players can be dangerous and we will try to play our game. We have nothing to lose, we are playing the biggest team in the league. , he declared at a press briefing on Friday.

“I want the guys to go into the game half having fun, and half thinking there’s something to do regardless.”

Furthermore, the Montreal pilot indicated that the only injured player was forward Kwadwo Opoku. He will miss several weeks, having left the match against FC Dallas last Saturday in the 11th minute of play.

Montreal started the season with a draw in Orlando and a win in Dallas ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference.
