MIAMI, Florida – Inter Miami CF don dey ready hit the pitch dis weekend as dem go face FC Cincinnati for one match wey fit change the game o. But guess what? Messi no go dey. Why? Because him don collect suspension for skipping the MLS All-Star Game along with him padi, Jordi Alba. E b like say big names no fit play together sometimes, sha.
Dis game fit determine who go lead the Eastern Conference as both teams don dey fight for top position. Miami don dey hustle since dem start MLS season, but dis weekend dem go do am without their star man, Messi, wey don dey score goal like mad this season.
Coach Javier Mascherano go get work to do as he dey run new lineup without di usual main guys. Miami don play plenty games, but to rotate player na small wahala, especially when you get players wey just dey learn wetin dem dey do. Players like Rocco Ríos Novo go step up as di new goalkeeper, while di defense go rely on Gonzalo Luján and Tomás Avilés to make sure say FC Cincinnati no fit score plenty goals.
On di other hand, di Cincinnati crew dey sharp like razor. Dem dey sit pretty for di top spot with Evander don dey shine bright like diamond for front. E don score 15 goals this season, and if Miami no fit stop am, na wah for dem o!
As we dey talk, di two big names, Messi and Alba wey suppose lead Miami, go just dey watch like fans for sideline. Dem say per league rules, if you skip All-Star Game without permission, you go sit down for house for di next match. Even Messi wey we sabi don do plenty for di league dey feel di weight of dis decision.
Jorge Mas, wey be co-owner of Inter Miami, don talk say him dey hope say dis one no go affect Messi future for di league, but how you wan make am no affect am when e no go fit play? Na serious matter.
As fans wey dey chop popcorn dey wait for dis showdown, we fit expect some surprises for di match. Fafa Picault, wey don score four goals for di season, go need to show wetin im fit do alongside Luis Suárez wey no dey shine as before without Messi wahala dey. Meanwhile, Noah Allen dey prepare to fit play left-back despite say he just come back from injury. Wetin go happen to Miami na serious question, but one thing wey sure be say, di match dey hot!
As di Sunday night action dey come, every eye go dey focus on how Miami go cope without their king. Will e be a case of “no Messi, no party”? We go see how am dey play. But beware, my padi, if FC Cincinnati fit capitalize on dis, dem fit drag home di three points like dem bwad!
