Inter Miami can return to be made at the right time and it is no surprise that Lionel Messi is moving in this way.
Messi scored two goals with a assistance when Inter Miami broke the four-match Wineless Streak (0-2-2) with a 4–2 win against CF Montreal on Wednesday.
Miami (7-3-5, 26 points) will now host a struggling Columbus Crew (7-2-7, 28 points) on Saturday before playing a club World Cup against Al Ahali of Egypt on 14 June.
Miami’s coach Xavier Mantrano said, “These types of situations also strengthen you as a group, so hopefully we can do it something that makes us strong for the future.”
Messi scored Montreal vs. first and fourth goals and scored two goals before Luis Suarez 2–0.
“Everything looks easy,” Maschherano said about Messi. “They have accustomed us in this stage of their career. … This is the player we have to follow because he shows us the way to be able to compete in a very good way.”
Miami’s defender Jordan Alba will be excluded for at least two weeks with a muscle injury and the defenders Gonzalo Lujan and Toto Evils are also unavailable vs. crew. All three were injured on Wednesday.
The crew has lost its way. His last win on Charlotte FC on 3 May, put him in a two-point lead at the Eastern conference with a score of 4–2. The five-match win-free line (0-4-1) is now in fourth place, the first place is five points behind Philadelphia Union.
Backup crew goalkeeper Nicholas Hagan has allowed five goals in the last two matches playing for the injured Patrick Shulte (diagonally) in the last two matches, but he is subject to siege, requiring 12 savings in those matches.
“In this season, we protective a good job,” said the crew coach Wilfred Nancy. “But in the last few sports, we are average, not in the period of continuity of (but) in terms of major moments.”
The crew has allowed the first goal in four of the last five matches.
