Inter Miami look like the old PSG or last few Barcelona teams with Lionel Messi, and that’s not a good thing

In the atmosphere, Paris Saint-Germain was there, there were few teams of the highest football ladder who could have stayed with them. There was nothing Inter Miami could have done to break a movement as complex as the one who ended with Joao Neves slipping on a Fabian Ruiz who overlapped for the second of PSG. It is not the same thing, however, because noting that Lionel Messi and the company were particularly poorly suited to the challenge posed by European champions.

We wonder if there were those of PSG who saw some of the characteristics of what was equivalent to the bad old days at the Parc des Princes, the team which seemed to have been built to satisfy the whims of a really big footballer, who did not know what to do without possession and who was completely too dependent on one or two players doing only without possession and who were completely too dependent on one or two players dependent on one or two players who did not make possession and who were completely too dependent on one or two players doing what to do without possession and who were completely too dependent on one or two players doing only without possession and who were completely too dependent on one or two players who did not do it something When they had it.

Inter Miami looked like a team from Lionel Messi, but not the ones you remember most affectionately. Instead, they have been redolent in recent years in Barcelona while he was carrying an overly heavy offensive charge, the strange stay of PSG where all the attacker talent was on his side but the other team played as a unit.

Whatever the value that the Messi has brought to the American football project – and in fact for the results of Inter Miami in its time with the club – it is just to note that the catering for the great man has done for a team in a unique way to face the best teams in the world. Rather than surrounding Messi from the legs to run for him, the club’s hierarchy gave Argentinian a chance to find his 30 -year -old comrades.

If he could have a do-over, maybe Jorge Mas and David Beckham would have been better to finance a long weekend in the Hamptons for certain Legends of Barcelona, ​​then to sign more dynamic players. According to all accounts, Messi’s most attractive factors when he left PSG was life in Miami and MLS Partners’ financial incentives. Would he have gone to Saudi Arabia because he couldn’t play with Jordi Alba?

Messi is always able to shine shine, a genius pass at the beginning of the second half making Luis Suarez with a magnificent volley for the first time in the two or three meters of space between the defense of PSG and the goal line. Maybe the youngest Suarez could have voted it during the first time. It would have been a goal without consequences, but all the more delicious for that. In flashes, the old men of Inter Miami delivered an exhilarating rush of nostalgia. In 90 minutes, PSG showed how the game had progressed since the peak of Messi.

Argentinian always has the installations to excel at the highest level; If he never returned to the Big Five leagues in Europe, he would surely light up a higher side, especially with the runners around him. Messi can always charm you and dazzle you, but in Inter Miami Pink, he has the appearance of the unique Lothario in the house of the old man. He had the movements; He just needed a little more time to go.

The fact that it only ends 4-0 probably said more of the reluctance of PSG to overexal in heat almost 90 degrees. From the moment Khvicha Kvaratskhelia slipped to the left touch line, took his time to assess his options and rolled the ball to Bradley Barcola, intelligently denied by Oscar Ustari, it was obvious that the French side was in mood to conclude quickly, to stem the tide, Inter Miami had to go to the right. They did not do it.

No one in pink seemed to be taken to defend the back post, where Joao Neves, the smallest player on the ground, penetrated without scoring to reject a head at home. They were lucky that their negligence was not punished twice, Barcola in the same position shortly after, creating a Fabian Ruiz off game to turn into a net. It seems to be something of a model with Inter Miami, which concedes the most set goals per game in MLS this season.

Once again, these characteristics of pre-Luis enrique PSG are lifting from the head. When Inter Miami was at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to play Atlanta United, that would not have been a problem if they were too passive out of possession, if they did not seem to have pierced during the week. They had a huge advantage of talent at the highest level; Messi or even Alba could simply break the game in an instant, a bit as they had done in Ligue 1 or La Liga.

They were not going to do this at PSG. Even one of the major Messi teams would have been pushed hard by KVaratskhelia et al. The Bad Cover version of Inter Miami of Messi-Ball was never going to make a competition.
