Nico Estevez, head coach of Austin FC, expressed his enthusiasm for potentially coaching Lionel Messi during the MLS All-Star Game against Liga MX. The game will take place at Q2 Stadium, marking the fourth time the inter-league format is used. Estevez mentioned uncertainty regarding Messi's participation due to training absences but remains hopeful. Additionally, 19-year-old Obed Vargas is seizing this opportunity as he aims for a spot on the Mexican national team in the upcoming World Cup.
I just coach and use the players I'm given. I hope so - I'm very optimistic, and I hope he can be there. Of course, I'd love for him to play. It would be a pleasure to work, even if just for a short time, with the greatest of all time.
Every single time I get to face one of those teams or if it's MLS vs. LIGA MX All-Stars, it always adds a bit of motivation for me just because of my background, and obviously my ties with the Mexico national team and wanting to represent.
