Cote: Onus is on Messi to make Inter Miami champions. Friday’s playoff win was a big start.
The Argentine superstar has the talent and experience to lead his new team to MLS glory.
Lionel Messi has everything he needs to be a success in Major League Soccer.
He's one of the greatest players of all time, he's still in good physical condition, and he's joining a team with a lot of potential.
But whether or not Messi can lead Inter Miami to an MLS Cup title will depend on a number of factors.
Here are three key things that Messi will need to do in order to make Inter Miami champions:
- Be a leader on and off the field. Messi is a natural leader, and he will need to use his experience and charisma to help his teammates gel and perform at their best.
- Score goals and create chances for others. Messi is one of the most dangerous attackers in the world, and he will need to continue to score goals and create chances for his teammates if Inter Miami is going to be successful.
- Stay healthy. Messi has had some injury problems in recent years, and he will need to stay healthy if he is going to be able to help Inter Miami win an MLS Cup.
If Messi can do these three things, then there is no reason why Inter Miami can't be crowned MLS champions.
The team has a lot of talent, and Messi is the missing piece that could help them reach their full potential.
It won't be easy, but it's definitely possible.
Messi has already shown that he can be a winner in MLS.
In his first playoff game with Inter Miami, he scored a goal and led his team to a 3-0 victory.
If he can continue to play at that level, then there is no reason why Inter Miami can't make a run at the MLS Cup.
