The manager of the Charlotte FC sends a warning to Lionel Messi before the match

Less and less to see Lionel Messi in action again. Last Sunday, the captain of the Argentine National Team shone again with Inter Miami against FC Dallas in what was the most difficult game he had to face since he was in the United States. The team led by Tata Martino came to be two goals behind on the scoreboard, but the left foot of the '10' appeared to tie at the end and then the Florida team emerged victorious in the penalty shootout.

In this way, they got the ticket to play the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup, an instance in which they will face Charlotte this Friday at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. A few days before the meeting, Christian Lattanzio -coach of Inter's next rival- palpitated what the duel in search of the semifinals will be and what it will mean to face the best player in the world.

“Messi is the great spirit of MLS, but we won't just play against him, we will face a team that is better with Messi. It is a good challenge, it is logical that it will be a very difficult game and we will seek to play our best football”, said the Italian technical director.

Charlotte got an agonizing win to qualify

Las Garzas were not the only ones who managed to pass the round in an agonizing way. And it is that the Carolinas team lost 1-0 against Houston Dynamo until 79 minutes, but in a period of 52 seconds they managed to come back thanks to goals from Agyemang and Micael (against).
