Messi Back But Miami Struggles | Miami Heat News

Inter Miami’s slump deepens after a brutal 4-1 loss to Nashville despite Messi back in the lineup, as their defense crumbles—13 goals conceded in five August games. Coach Guillermo Hoyos stays upbeat, calling his squad “monsters of football” and seeing this stretch as a wake-up call ahead of a crucial clash with Philadelphia Union. Union’s interim coach Ryan Richter admits facing Messi and Suarez is tough, especially since last time they lost 6-4 with a different roster; Philly’s on a four-game win streak. Richter’s game plan? Shut down Messi’s touches and contain veteran striker Luis Suarez—with 18-year-old Neil Pierre likely tasked with the challenge. Miami’s missing key players like Berterame, and the match against Philly kicks off Wednesday at 7:30 PM on Apple TV.
