The MLS will kick off this Wednesday with the match between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake. The Utah team, which was champion in 2009 and is a regular in the playoffs of the North American tournament (finished 5th in the regular phase last season), is preparing to face one of the great candidates this year and, in the previous , the players and the coach They showed their admiration for Lionel Messi.
“Messi is the best footballer in all of history, without a doubt,” said Uruguayan Marcelo Silva, one of the defenders who will try to stop Leo. Coach Pablo Mastroeni also talked about that: “There is a reason he is one of the greatest players in history. It is very difficult to put together the game plan around a player who can make a difference at any moment of the game.”
It will be RSL’s first confrontation against Messi and, for the American players, it will be something very special. “He won a World Cup and now we are going to go head to head. “It’s going to be a very crazy experience and a dream come true,” Diego Luna, one of the young people on the team, threw. Bode Hidalgo, also a Yankee, added: “It’s like a dream. I think everyone sees his name and it’s something they want to do, having the opportunity (to face it) is something very nice.”
Those who were enthusiastic but less contemplative were the Colombians Nelson Palacio and Cristian Arango. “It’s a nice game in two senses because you can say ‘I played with Messi’ and ‘I won a game against Messi’,” said the first, and the second added: “It’s very nice to face it but it’s just another game, I want to go out and win and give my all, let’s hope the team faces it the same.”
The only Argentine from Real Salt Lake
Among their ranks, the Monarcas have only one Argentine footballer: Pablo Ruiz. After playing a large part of the youth team in San Lorenzo, the midfielder ended up making his debut with the San Luis de Quillota jersey in August 2017 and, after a few months, he received interest from Real Salt Lake, who decided to buy him.
