Messi Still Called Godly After Direct Corner Goal! Acting Coach Defends: Talent from God, Golden Ball Stolen But Deserved

On September 14, Inter Miami acting head coach Ochoa spoke about Messi and the team's current status. He praised Messi's direct corner goal, stating his talent comes from God and he has never stopped refining it, calling him an unreplicable player who can still compete for many more years. Ochoa stated that Messi's World Cup Golden Ball was taken away but he completely deserved it, adding that Inter Miami will do everything to help him fight for another Golden Ball. He mentioned Messi's immense draw, noting that 63,000 spectators attended the match in Chicago. Regarding the team's exits from the Campeones Cup, Liga Concacaf, and their league draw, Ochoa refused to publicly criticize mistakes, emphasizing a focus on growth and the passion to win. New signing Galarraga received praise for his debut, described as humble and down-to-earth, contributing running, defending, and ball distribution from the bench. Young, impactful, and technically sound with World Cup experience, he is an excellent value signing.
