Inter Miami coach spoke about preparations for the new season

Gerardo Martino, the head coach of Inter Miami, has shared his thoughts on the team's goals during the preparation for the upcoming season. He openly acknowledges that the team's game plan will revolve around the main MLS star, Lionel Messi.

"We need to try to find ways of playing where the players, especially Leo, can be the best versions of themselves, but not with individual improvements.

The moment came when we surprised opponents less; our ball movement became slower, and opponents could foresee and neutralize that.

Perhaps now it's about building a real team, meaning discovering its best version through the other players.

I'm focused on how we can surround Messi with teammates, find him, and try not to give away to opponents how we intend to play," - Martino said.

It's worth noting that the new MLS season kicks off at the end of February, and tickets for the match between Galaxy and Inter Miami, scheduled for the second round, sold out in six minutes.
