Expectations for Messi's debut in U.S. soccer
Washington, July 21 (Pl) - The eyes of all soccer fans around the world, or a good part of them, are looking to the United States before the expected debut of Argentine star Lionel Messi today at Inter Miami.
With the arrival of the best player on the planet -without a doubt- in North American soccer, the way Major League Soccer (MLS) has been watched up to now will change 180 degrees.
Gerardo Martino, who is the new coach of the MLS team and the one who has coached the captain of the Argentina national team the most times, anticipated to the press the eventual presence of Messi on the field of the DRV PNK Stadium, in Fort Lauderdale.
The coach also did not rule out the participation of Sergio Busquets, former teammate of La Pulga at Barcelona, another of Inter's recent signings.
It is said that ticket prices for the game between Inter of Miami and Cruz Azul, of the Mexican league, reached unpronounceable prices.
At another time, perhaps, the duel would have gone unnoticed, because those who love numbers remember that tonight's game will be the clash of the worst teams in terms of squads.
The worst team in MLS will face the worst team in Liga MX, only that the announcement of Messi, who no longer has a place at home to place golden balls, turned the scenario upside down.
Also the sport of kicking the ball has a lot more in store for the fans in the coming days.
On Wednesday, Spain's Real Madrid arrived in Los Angeles to face several European rivals, including Barça, in a version of the Clasico in the United States starting July 23.
On Sunday, July 27, the Merengue team will face AC Milan at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles and Manchester United at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
On July 29, they will face Barcelona at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
