The Argentine coach of Intermiami responded with a bit of irony when asked about the availability of Lionel Messi in today’s match. “Without Messi’s other suspensions, he’ll be available. He was very motivated and didn’t expect his suspension, but he can rest after some games and it’s refreshing,” he said.
All controversy comes in a month when Intermiami was playing a very big game, as they had to play six games in a month after the Club World Cup.
Messi’s new allies
Despite the controversy over Messi’s absence from the All-Star Game, not all of this was bad news for players and Intermiami, as Rodrigo de Paul’s arrival was confirmed a few days ago. The player has a great friendship with Messi and has achieved many successes together with the Argentina national team.
