Inter Miami’s rivals make the locals feel in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup

Dallas’ match against Inter Miami marked the opening of the Leagues Cup round of 16 for Lionel Messi’s team in their first match outside Florida and the local fans already showed the first signs of hostility towards the best player in the world in the adjacencies to the Toyota Stadium, beyond the fact that many even wore merchandising from Las Garzas or the Argentine team out of admiration for La Pulga.

After the tickets sold out in 18 minutes, an important frame was expected to encourage the team that has Alan Velasco among its ranks. Even minutes after the initial whistle, the fans continued in the vicinity of the entrances to wait until the last moments under the Texas sunset and the coverage made by the journalist Diego Monroig on ESPN was able to capture different opinions, among which the chants in mocking tone with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The reporter warned about some people, who performed the characteristic celebration of the Al-Nassr striker followed by the “Siu”, a word popularized by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. “Messi, this was your last day in the Leagues Cup” warned one of the people gathered in Dallas with the particularity that he had a Querétaro de México kit.

Other of the spectators burst into a univocal song when they found themselves in front of the microphones of the Argentine signal. To the rhythm of “Cristiano Ronaldo”, they warmed up the preview and Monroig returned it with a subtlety: “But who has the World Cup?” In the middle, some mixed Brazilians slipped in with the permanent support of the Argentines, who predicted a good performance from Leo, and even some were encouraged to forecast the possibility of a triplet.

This situation easily recalled what happened after the initial defeat of the Argentine team against Saudi Arabia in the World Cup in Qatar. “Where is Messi?” (Where is Messi?), was a phrase replicated over and over again by Saudi travelers after his unexpected winning debut. The end is known. A march at full pace until the title achieved at the Lusail Stadium against France.

Later, there was a moment for the insistence of the fans of Querétaro. The supporters of the Gallos Blancos palpitated the possibility of crossing this rival in the semifinals of the competition, while another person assured that he attended the stadium with the sole purpose of eliminating the visiting team: “The tickets were very expensive. I hope it’s worth it and Messi loses. I paid the ticket to see him lose.”

Messi did not like it. Thus, from the clash between Charlotte and Houston Dynamo, Inter Miami’s next opponent will come out in the quarterfinals of the contest that provides the qualification for the Concacaf Champions League.
