Inter Miami recruited Messi in the last summer transfer window in a free form from PSG. The Argentine player is considered a treasure of the American club.
In fact, in the early stages of the season, Messi shined brightly to help Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup championship. Besides, the club also has a great opportunity to compete in the play-off round of the American Major League Championship (MLS).
Unfortunately, at the decisive stage of the season, Messi was injured while returning to the national team. The absence of El Pulga in the final matches caused Inter Miami to decline and not be able to reach the top 9 (playing for the championship play-off).
Few people know that Inter Miami has a “hidden rule” that only Messi has the right to enjoy. As revealed by midfielder Edison Azcona, Inter Miami players are not allowed to collide with the Argentine superstar during training sessions.
Speaking to the press, Edison Azcona said: “We will avoid hurting Messi. When accompanying him in training sessions, we need to be careful. Messi does not need to participate in competitive matches.” . The whole team must always find ways to protect him. The good news is that the members of Inter Miami are comfortable with this hidden rule.”
It is worth mentioning that Inter Miami is not the first team to apply the “hidden rule” to avoid contact with Messi during training sessions. Previously, Barcelona applied a similar law to protect superstar number 10.
Messi’s former teammate at Camp Nou, Jean-Claire Todibo, said: “We all know that Messi cannot be injured. Therefore, Barcelona has protected Messi very carefully during training sessions. I learned I learned a lot from him. I tackled Messi a few times but not enough to cause an injury.”
After ending the MLS season early with Inter Miami, Messi and his teammates will travel to China in November. On the homepage, Inter Miami confirmed that they will play two matches in China against two Qingdao Hainiu clubs ( November 5) and Chengdu Rongchen (November 8). This is part of Inter Miami’s plan to expand its global influence.
Although El Pulga is almost a month away from appearing, the country of billions of people has already witnessed a big fever. As noted by Paper (China), ticket prices for the match between Inter Miami and Qingdao Hainiu range from 680 yuan to 5,800 yuan (2.3 million VND to 20 million VND).
Tickets priced at 1,000 yuan are not issued in large numbers. It is expected that next week, the Organizing Committee will begin selling tickets. With the current fever, black market ticket prices can be pushed up many times.
