Miami waiting impatiently Lionel Messi. The Argentinian was announced on June 7th as a new player for the franchise, but has yet to be premiered (or officially unveiled). However, it is expected that in the next few days there will be lights from Rosario and most importantly they will start to have action on the pitch.

But while the wait continues, the team at Sports news has done an x-ray of Inter Miami, from his last games of the season, to get a better idea of ​​the team that awaits Messi, with the pros, cons, ups and downs. Below are the results.

What will Lionel Messi find at Inter Miami?

The first is who will be his coach, in this case, a compatriot he did not know. Currently, Javier Morales will continue with Sebastián Saya in between. Gerardo Martinothat was announced a few days ago, and his staff still awaiting documentation so I can start working with the team.

In general, it is a team with young talent, especially in the defensive saga. Morales usually plays with four defenders at the back. The stable center back is the Ukrainian Sergii Kryvtsov, with vast experience with Shakhtar Donetsk in his country and with the national team. But on his sides he places both Ian Fray (age 20) like Noah Allen (19). those when they are not Christopher McVeigh26 year old Swede and also regular as a starter.

He usually plays on the right wing as a winger DeAndre Yedlininternational with the United States national team, but in his absence, the staff uses Benjamín Cremaschi, Argentine-American, just 18 years old which last year was between the second team (Inter Miami II) and the first; although his natural position is as a right winger. Both are Florida natives.

In midfield, Inter uses two pivots. Due to the absence of regular (and captain) Gregor -injured and recovering since March for six months- is Ecuador Dixon Creek and Honduras David Ochoa. The latter, just 19 years old and also a product of Inter’s youth academy.

However, This is where the problems start. in his game flamingo. Arroyo doesn’t offer too many options beyond the normal in terms of play, while his team-mate and number 41 is looking to be more involved, albeit making mistakes typical of his new experience. Same with Kremaski when making decisions in the end zone. Lefties have recently been left without their natural side. Franco Negri, who tore ligaments in his left knee and has been a starter for the band, is out at the end of June and won’t be back for the rest of the year.

It is because of this the possible arrival of Jordi Alba is a necessity. Covering this group, but at the same time having a player who can provide crosses for Messi, will be more than important.

One of the recurring attacking midfielders is Robert Taylor. The Finn had a fine 2022, finishing with three assists and 412 successful passes in that area of ​​the pitch. However, he’s on track to be under that number this year (he had 207 before Tuesday’s July 4 game against the Columbus Crew).

Already three-quarters of the way down the field, the names are starting to become more recognizable: Rodolfo Pizarro, Nicolás Stefanelli, Josef Martínez, Leonardo Campana… However, two of the three listed are franchise players: the Venezuelan and the Mexican. Martínez just arrived this year and has appeared with him six of 19 goals that they have scored so far this season, apart from one assist.

So he saved 90th minute equalizer against Columbus Crew this Tuesday, which allowed the team to add their second consecutive tie and keep alive their hopes of a comeback after 7 straight league defeats.

Pizarro, meanwhile, it was barely in action This year. Add 11 games – nine as a starter – and he recently returned from an injury that kept him out for nearly a month. He has just one assist and is the number one candidate to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of 2023.

What are the pros and cons of Inter Miami for Lionel Messi?

Beyond sports Messi arrives at a team that has everything to satisfy his demands, which is positive. He will be a player and perhaps even a manager: he is supposed to be, at the very least, an inevitable source of consultation when the club has to decide who goes, who stays and who comes. The relationship with Martino and his task force (should they be empowered), will allow him to be in a comfort zone and with a game he already knows, having lived together in both Argentina and Barcelona.

In addition, he will have two teammates who understand each other very well and who will surely know how to feed him with assists and goals, like Martinez and Cabana. This trinity, if combined, can be quite effective in attacking the 4-3-3 formation that Martino usually uses.

Disadvantages; Especially the team’s situation in the table. They are last in the East, nine points out of the final play-in spot for the postseason. not the Mission Impossible Deadly Judgment Part 1but he’s rowing against the tide with only 11 games left in the regular season.
