Sergio Busquets stated that while Inter Miami does rely on Lionel Messi's skills, they are not entirely dependent on him. Following their CONCACAF Champions Cup exit, Miami prepares for their MLS game against New York Red Bulls. Busquets emphasized Messi's significance, noting that any team with him will seek to utilize his abilities. New York midfielder Peter Stroud highlighted the importance of being proactive against Miami to avoid punishment, while coach Schwarz pointed out the need for solid defensive strategies against Miami's skilled players.
There's no team with Messi on it that doesn't depend on him. He's the most decisive player in the world, the best player, and it's obvious that we have to rely on him to a great extent - but not 100%.
You can't sit there in awe, because they will hurt you. I think that's the most important thing. Now I think we realise that if you do that, you're only going to get punished, in a sense.
We started our preparation for this game on Saturday, so before the second game against Vancouver. But it's clear, you could see it then, what they have done. They have a lot of quality especially with the ball.
The more he's involved in the game, the more we look for him and the more he can help us, then that will be a good sign.
