Miami, Florida
Inter Miami dey face wahala as dem prepare to host Seattle Sounders for midweek MLS action. This match go come quick-quick, just few days after dem don play last game. Na wetin be ‘busy schedule’, abi?
Decision Day dey loom, and as FIFA Club World Cup, Leagues Cup, and Concacaf Champions Cup don scatter their plans this season, the Miami Herons dey struggle to catch up. As e be now, dem don play only 26 regular-season games, while plenty teams don already touch 30. E be like sey dem dey lag behind. (Na so dem dey make am easy for other teams to shine!)
Coach Javier Mascherano dey deal with light squad matter, because injuries and suspensions don dey scatter the team. If dem fit win this match, them go shoot up go the top of the Eastern Conference. This no be child play o, because dem get eight games to play between September 16 and October 18. Fasten your seatbelt!
For the lineup, dem go start with Oscar Ustari for goalkeeper. The 38-year-old guru go try maintain clean sheet as Seattle dey come with strong attack. Then for defense, Marcelo Weigandt go dey right back, while Gonzalo Luján and Maxi Falcón go dey center backs. Noah Allen dey left back to give Jordi Alba some rest.
As dem try hold down the midfield, Rodrigo De Paul go dey right wing, dey operate for the same areas wey e don dey play against Charlotte. This guy need to step up because attackers no dey plentiful for the squad now.
Sergio Busquets, the Barcelona legend wey don appear for all but one MLS match dis season, go hold midfield with Yannick Bright. Dem go get support from Telasco Segovia wey dey look for him first MLS goal since July 19. Finally, Messi and Tadeo Allende go be strikers upfront. (Messi dey chase that Golden Boot like sey e no get tomorrow!)
Inter Miami don see plenty matches postponed because of those international commitments, and now dem dey face nine games within almost a month. E no fit get any easier as injuries dey plague their aging stars. With Messi and Busquets plus the rest of dem, dem just wan fight through this busy period, but na with serious wahala.
Looking forward, e go be interesting to see how dem go shapa this stretch wey be like full marathon! Fans dey wait, and we too dey watch.
