Soccer has received a new flavor in the USA. With the arrival of Lionel Messi, it’s not just Inter Miami but the entire MLS that is grabbing eyeballs. Even rival fans seem to enjoy the Argentine captain’s presence, whose magical performances lighten up the sport. Recently, a new arrival expressed how the Miami skipper makes the teammates look better. However, in a stunning disclosure, another rising star from the club laid bare the troublesome part of playing with Messi.

Lionel Messi undoubtedly brings in a lot of demand from the players. This demand to play to the standards of his expectations can be daunting for the players, according to Benjamin Cremaschi. In a recent interview, the American midfielder stated, “One wants to play well not just for yourself but to make him (Messi) happy.“ But Cremaschi is determined to give his hundred percent as he understands the broader picture.

The 19-year-old further said, “I will do all I can to make him happy, is not easy. He helps all the time, so he makes it much easier,” citing Messi’s efforts to help players. Working with Messi seems to present a few challenges. According to former FC Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic, communication might take a backseat to his leadership style despite his intentions. However, the Inter Miami youngsters will be aware of the effort they need to put in.

Meanwhile, it is clear how dependent they are on European stars, including Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, apart from Leo. The team has struggled without Messi’s contribution, winning just one of the five games he was absent this season. Hence, this could be a unique opportunity for Cremaschi and Inter Miami’s players to glean insights from the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner.

The current season also gives the Herons the best imaginable chance to win their maiden MLS title. Placed at a surprising #1 spot on the table, a newcomer at Miami, Julian Gressel, praised Lionel Messi for transforming the team’s vibes with his presence. The two-time MLS title winner recently said, “Leo, I think makes everybody look better like you said as well on the field.” “When he’s on the field, there’s a different energy about us and there’s a different feeling to the group.”

Nonetheless, the club has to look for ways to keep winning despite Leo’s absence. With Copa America around the corner, the World Cup winner will be away for a few games. A drop in points during these games can affect David Beckham’s club in their race for the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup. And whether the team would adapt to Messi’s absence or not has to be seen.
