Tomorrow, Inter Miami could have to resolve its commitment against Orlando City without the help of the three stars who changed the face of the team a couple of months ago.The omens couldn't be worse: Messi and Alba had to be replaced early in the game against Toronto, and Busquets did not train with the group this Friday.
The 'Herons' need to add three points to reach the MLS playoffs, so in the so-called Clásico del Sol they will have to enter the field with the knife between their teeth and grow without the overprotection that Messi offers,something they already achieved this Wednesday against the Canadian franchise.
At the moment they are located in thethirteenth position in the Eastern Conference, with 31 points in 28 challenges.
The rivalry with the well-known Orlando 'Lions' will add a little spice to the dual meet, which at the beginning of August experienced its most recent episode with the victory3x1 from Miami, supported by two goals from 'La Pulga'.
Before that confrontation, a mural dedicated to Leo Messi by Inter Miami fans was vandalized by Orlando City fans, who threw purple paint on it (in reference to the color of the team's uniform).
In his last appearance before the media, coach 'Tata' Martino made it clear that the club's priority regarding its key figures (especially the '10') is to preserve them so that they can compete in optimal conditions in the final of the US Open Cup, which will take place on September 27 against Houston Dynamo.
What do you think?
