Preparing to kick the semi-finals, Messi was praised by the opponent's coach

Inter Miami is about to meet Philadelphia Union in the semi-finals of the Leagues Cup, which means that it is only a step away from the ticket to the Concacaf Champions League.

Before this important match, Philadelphia Union coach Jim Curtis was full of praise for Messi, confirming that La Pulga's fanaticism is no longer related to the colors of the flag.

"It was probably the biggest day in MLS history. In my opinion, he was the best player ever," commented Curtis. Perhaps he could not have imagined that fate would bring his team to meet Messi.

"He's the best of all time. It's going to be a buzzing moment at Subaru Park. He came in last transfer window and brought in a lot of big names in MLS with an investment of 7, 8.9 million dollars. It's a team that as a coach is very difficult to face," added Curtis.

Compliments not only for Messi but also for Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets: "They understand each other perfectly. It's like an exclusive game between them. They know when to give him the ball, give him where. It's interesting to see them."

In addition to the praise, Curtis did not lose focus on what is most important, getting through the semi-finals of the Leagues Cup.

"It's an honor to play against Messi, but when the golden whistle goes, I know that our boys will give their all and give their best. Whether it's Messi, Alba or Busquets, we just have to play right. with his style and believe in himself," he said.
