(Baonghean.vn)-Cincinnati's Argentine midfielder predicts that his compatriot Lionel Messi will quickly integrate with Inter Miami and can score 3 to 4 goals per match in MLS; PSG's home team did not include Kylian Mbappe in the list of participants in the 2023 Summer tour are outstanding sports news.
Messi is expected to score 3 goals per game in MLS
"Messi is completely different from the rest," Barreal told Argentine sports channelTyC Sport. "Inter Miami are clearly struggling this season. It might be a little difficult for Messi, but I think he'll be able to score three or four goals per game."
Former Barca midfielder Riqui Puig once warned that MLS is competitive, not a place to "retire" for Messi. Nashville's US national team midfielder Walker Zimmerman said that Inter Miami's opponents will be motivated to fight, steal the ball or block the Argentine star's passes. England legend Wayne Rooney recently issued a similar warning.
However, Barreal believes that the senior striker will not have much trouble with opposing defenders. "When a star comes to MLS, he makes noise, but not Messi," added the 22-year-old winger. "I don't know if we can make it difficult for Messi. Of course, we all try to mark the best player of the opponent, because they are different."
After Messi, Inter Miami also recruited Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba - the duo who just left Barca this summer - on free transfers. "These three former Barca players are three monsters who will help Inter Miami a lot. I just hope they don't recruit anyone else," Barreal said with a laugh.
PSG shocked, removed Kylian Mbappe's name
PSG just had a pre-season warm-up with a 2-0 victory over Le Havre. Accordingly, Hugo Ekitike and Kylian Mbappe were the two players who scored for the Parisian capital team in this match. Immediately after the match, coach Luis Enrique and his team will travel to Japan and have matches against Al Nassr, Cerezo Osaka, PSG and Jeonbuk Motors.
However, it was quite surprising when PSG decided to remove Mbappe's name. PSG's homepage announced the list of players going to the land of the rising sun, but the 2022 World Cup top scorer was not present. On the contrary, Neymar or Mbappe's younger brother Ethan were present. The move shows PSG's toughness towards PSG. According to Athletic, Guardian or Times, PSG plans to sell Mbappe outright when this striker refuses to renew his contract.
Van Quyet "envies" the Vietnamese women's team
The male soccer players have just sent messages to their female colleagues before the match with the US women's team at the 2023 Women's World Cup. Among them, there is a message from captain Van Quyet of Hanoi Club. Accordingly, Van Quyet sympathizes with the difficulties of the women's team and at the same time, he also feels "jealous" because the women's team is competing in the World Cup, facing strong teams in the world.
"As a player, since I started training at the youth level, I have clearly seen the difficulties of women's football. For us male players, pursuing a football career is already difficult, but for female players, it is even more difficult. We have to overcome many things with will and determination to be successful. The Vietnamese women's team is in a very strong group, with the US team - the current world champion, and the Netherlands team - who just won the women's EURO," Van Quyet said.
"It's okay, I have a different perspective, that this is a blessing. In football, you have the opportunity to play against the strongest team in the world, against the best players in the world, it is both difficult, challenging, and lucky. As a player, I think it will be a great experience. Playing in the World Cup, playing against the strongest opponents, it will be an unforgettable experience in a player's life," Van Quyet shared.
