Busquets on US Open Cup final: "If there is a chance to play, Messi is going to try"

One of the key figures of Inter Miami, the midfielder Sergio Busquets, has planted the seed of hope in the 'Herons' fans heading into tonight's match against Houston Dynamo for the US Open Cup trophy.

"If there is any chance to play Messi I'm sure he'll try. For us he is the best player in the world and it is very important," he told the Panamanian media COS in reference to the participation of the Rosario genius in the match.

As is known, Messi deals with "an old scar tissue problem," according to coach Gerardo Martino, and His presence in the final of the tournament remains in doubt, as does that of full-back Jordi Alba.

Asked about his consideration of the game with Dynamo, Busquets anticipated an "even" clash because "they are a great team". However, he appreciated that "we play at home, with our fans" and "that is a plus."

The legendary '5' of FC Barcelona highlighted the quality of one of his rivals, the Panamanian 'Coco' Carrasquilla, who he said "makes the difference."

Also He had glowing words for the Mexican Héctor Herrera, and maintained that "we hope to control not only Alberto (Carrasquilla) and Héctor (Herrera), but the entire team so that the match falls in our favor."
