Inter Miami Talisman Lionel Messi and manager Javier Mascherano will meet with one of his former Argentine teammates when Necaxes visits the Chase stadium in the second game of the League Cup Group stage on Saturday.
The new manager of the Mexican side is Fernando Gago, who won the World Cup under 20 in one of the 68 appearances with Messi, as well as making 58 on the same side as Mascherano, with the three performance in the games, including the 2008 Olympic games and the final defeat of the 2014 World Cup in Germany.
“It’s someone I care about; we have shared moments out of football,” said Mascherano. “It is always special to face someone you know with, with whom you shared so many beautiful moments.
“Fernando’s teams are usually protagonists and are very attackers. We will have to take enough precaution to try to minimize their attacker phases.”
Real Madrid, Valencia and Midi Juniors Gago was appointed manager of the year in the first Argentine flight with Racing Club in 2022, but left mouth after less than seven months in April.
“I have had a relationship with Leo for more than 15 years,” said the 39 -year -old. “Regardless of whether I have faced or not, I speak with him a lot.
“It will be a good game to face some of the best players. There are areas where we can control the game, knowing where we can hurt them.”
Necaxa launched his League Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory against Atlanta United Visitors at the Eastern Conference, while Miami beat Atlas 2-1 at home.
Messi and Wideman Jordi Alba have made their first appearances since serving the MLS bars against a game against Atlas, the striker established Miami’s two goals.
The Argentine midfielder, Rodrigo de Paul, who initially signed on loan from Atlético de Madrid, could begin again after his debut.
Versail Greec International Noah Allen and the Allen Obando Prospective Ecrospective were not replaced after waste problems, while Racing Club de Avellaneda, Baltasar Rodriguez, and goalkeeper Ostar, have still returned from the same problem.
Goalkeeper Drake Callendar forms again after a Hèrnia problem and defender Ian Fray continues to suffer an injury suffered during the Club World Cup.
Ex-left of Uruguay, Agustin Oliveros, is in Nechax with a Shin injury and central Alan Montes center was joined on Friday Team Sporting Kansas City.
Gago may be tempted to start Tomas Badaloni after the center of the exit scored twice within 15 minutes against Atlanta, after having entered as a substitute for the 74th minute.
“We are under construction,” Gaga suggested. “We have only played a few games (from the league season) and we must try to continue to grow as a team.
“Our idea is to qualify us, which is the most important thing. We must try to get points and results.”
