Record-maker Messi Miami scored three goals

 Record-maker Messi Miami scored three goals in his first five consecutive games


"I don't think it's normal to leave the field after allowing four runs."


It was a shot by Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), who made Philadelphia Union coach Jim Curtin feel empty.


Inter Miami won 4-1 against Philadelphia in the semifinals of the 2023 North and Central American League Cup at Subaru Park in Chester on the 16th. Miami, which advanced to the finals for the first time in its inaugural tournament and approached the highest position, including the league.


Messiah, who played an important role in the whole flow. Miami's Josef Martinez from Venezuela pulled out Philadelphia's soul with an amazing determination just three minutes into the first half. From the back, Ukrainian national team Sergey Krissov shook the net without missing a forward pass.


It was an interesting scene. The Philadelphia defense was putting down its defensive formation and watching the development of the ball as the attackers, consisting of Messi, Martinez and Robert Tyler, advanced. In particular, the defense was slightly tilted to the right to prevent Messi's advance, and Krissov's pass without missing it was caught by Martinez's foot and scored.


Philadelphia was caught off guard. Since then, he has held out by overhauling the defensive screening, but Messi has made a goal that clearly breaks the balance of the game. In the 20th minute, Martinez saw the goalkeeper leaning from the center of the midfield to the right of the goal, so he shot with his left foot and split the left corner. It was a goal that seemed to have been accurately measured with a protractor


Long experience has also been revealed. If Messi had dribbled for a long time and advanced further, he was more likely to be tied to the defensive space. The backspace of the defense was large, and after seeing the goalkeeper's position, he did not hesitate and scored with a low ground ball shot.


With this goal, Messi showed off his decisive ability to complete Atlanta United, Orlando City, and FC Dallas with multiple goals, starting with his debut goal in the first leg of the League Cup group stage on the 22nd of last month. The quarterfinals against Charlotte also scored a goal and became the driving force behind the semifinals.


It quickly became 2-0, and Philadelphia raised the formation to make up for the goal, but the back space was clearly pierced, and Jordi Alba connected Taylor's pass to an additional goal in extra time. It was a moment when Alba's bold participation in the attack, which had no experience in FC Barcelona in the Spanish Primera Liga, worked.


With the atmosphere of the game perfectly leaning toward Miami, David Luiz scored an additional goal in the 39th minute of the second half and Bedoya scored a complete victory over Philadelphia, which recovered one goal. It was an away game, but the atmosphere of the game was so close to home that it was cheering for Miami.


The U.S. sports media ESPN, which delivered the news of the game on the spot, said, "Since Messi and Alba joined Miami, they have won all games and reached the League Cup final for the first time." Miami meets Neschville SC-Monterrey winner.


Philadelphia coach Curtin said, "It takes the entire team's effort to create opportunities against teams like Miami. The first 20 to 30 minutes really made a lot of mistakes. "Miami did better in the first half," he said, admitting that it was the cause of the defeat to be pushed back in the leadership fight. "Everywhere (Messi) goes, there will be an atmosphere (cheering)." "Mash is world-class and the best player in MLS," he praised.


Miami changed 180 degrees after joining Messi, as coach Curtin indirectly expressed how great Messi's presence was. Miami, which had only 22 goals and 36 points in 22 games in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), has become a team that has scored 21 goals in just six League Cup games. This is a remarkable result in that it is a match against teams that have faced all of them in MLS.


In addition, for the first time since its foundation, it has created more than three goals in five consecutive official games. It was natural that Messi scored all the goals. It's Messi's magic to show how great the influence of one player
