Lionel Messi Returns to the Field After the Break
Lionel Messi is set to return to the soccer field for the first time in the new year, as he gears up to play for Inter Miami in a series of matches against top teams from around the world.
Messi’s first game of the year will take place on January 19th, when Inter Miami takes on the El Salvador national team. This will also mark Messi’s first appearance in an Inter Miami jersey, as he looks to make a strong start to the year.
Following the match against El Salvador, Messi and his team will face off against the Saudi club Al Hilal on January 29. Al Hilal will be without the injured Neymar, making the match even more anticipated by football fans around the world.
One of the most awaited matches is the face-off between Inter Miami and Al Nasr, where Messi will come up against his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo. This match may be the last time the two legendary players face each other in their careers, adding to the excitement surrounding the game.
Before kicking off their Major League Soccer campaign, Inter Miami will play a final warm-up match against Messi’s boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys, on February 15. The team is set to begin their MLS season on February 21, with their first home game scheduled against Royal Salt Lake.
Following their MLS opener, Messi and his team will go on to play Los Angeles Galaxy on February 25 and Orlando City on March 2, before preparing for the CONCACAF Championship, which kicks off on March 4.
In addition to his club commitments, Messi is also expected to represent Argentina during the Copa America tournament later in the season. Coach Lionel Scoloni and his fellow coaches have already begun preparations for the tournament, with high hopes for Messi and the team.
However, doubts were raised about Coach Scoloni’s strategy for the champions, following the announcement that he was considering stepping down after the World Cup warm-up against Brazil. Despite the concerns, Scoloni decided to continue following the insistence of Messi and others, providing a sense of relief for fans and the team.
As Messi prepares to embark on another eventful year in his illustrious career, football fans around the world are eagerly awaiting his return to the field and the exciting matches that lie ahead.
