How many matches will Messi miss in a year for Miami?

Which is the most famous scene in the match of Inter Miami? Undoubtedly Lionel Messi's goal. Without the goal of the Argentine captain, the victory of Miami is not complete. Messi scored the team's second goal today in his debut match in Major League Soccer (MLS) on the way to defeat New York Red Bulls.

However, this time Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino is urging Miami to win in addition to Messi. Because, Messi will miss some matches every year for Miami. Martino's team should win in those matches of the league as well.

Martino made the XI against New York Red Bulls with Messi on the bench. Messi entered the field as a replacement for Leonardo Campana in the 60th minute of the match. Messi scored a goal in the 89th minute of attacking football from the start. Miami scored another goal before he took the field. Like him, Diego Gomez scored on his league debut. Martino also wants Messi and other footballers to contribute to the victory. That's why this win against New York is special.

The reason why Messi will not be available for a few matches in a year is also the reason why the Miami coach said, "This victory is very important. We have to get used to playing back and forth like this. Because Messi will join the national team soon. He will miss at least three games, and that will be the case next year as well. We have to understand that when Messi is not with the team, the result should still come in our favor.

Martino did not specify exactly how many matches Messi will miss. But this year, Messi's Argentina will play six matches instead of three. Argentina will play two World Cup qualifying matches in these three months of September, October and November. However, Miami has no games in November.

That is, Messi will not miss any matches for Argentina's two matches in November. However, Miami has 10 games in September and October. Martino could not say exactly how many matches Messi might not play due to schedule and travel complications. Messi's Argentina will play World Cup qualifiers at the same time next year.
