Although Messi lost, he still smiled and agreed when the fans rushed into the field to ask for a photo!

November 2nd. In the second playoff game of the first round, Inter Miami lost to Nashville 1-2. This was their first defeat against this old rival in the Messi era in more than 10 games. They also missed the opportunity to advance and had to play a third game. Messi entered a difficult world wave in the countdown period of this game, but he had no choice but to save the team. The reason why Inter Miami lost was not only because the opponent profited from controversial penalties, but also because Inter Miami's head coach Mascherano and veteran Suarez showed their hips.

Mascherano's coaching performance is disappointing. After the game, he claimed to "analyze performances rather than results", but avoided the substantive question: Why did the team lack sharpness in the final third? Why can't Messi create a comfortable attacking space? These empty rhetoric contrast sharply with the tough image he had as a player. More worryingly, he has always lacked the courage to make tough decisions - especially regarding the use of his former comrade Suarez.

Suarez was rated as the only player in the team with less than 6 points in this game. His physical condition is obviously unable to adapt to the high-intensity game rhythm. When a forward "cannot run" on the court, no matter how great he was, he will become a tactical shortcoming of the team. A true friend should know how to step aside when the time is right, rather than relying on past friendships to occupy the starting position.

What is even more worrying is that the rumored news that Neymar may join is not an antidote, but may actually aggravate the problem. The reorganization of "MSN" is great, but professional football cannot win based on emotion. When a team is filled with veterans who need to be taken care of, and when the coaching staff has difficulty making professional decisions due to personal relationships, the team's competitiveness will only continue to decline. DePaul is still young, but has regressed. Busquets and Alba are about to retire, how much can Messi still drive this team?

What Inter Miami needs is not to dwell on past glories, but the courage to face reality. Messi is still at the top, but if they want to truly save the team, the management must make difficult choices-including letting those once-great friends learn to turn away gracefully at the appropriate time.
