Diego Simeone has questioned people who disagree with his claim that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world.
Diego Simeone, coach of Atletico Madrid, has declared Lionel Messi to be the best player in the world and has implied that Messi does not need to win any more championships to back up his claim.Many people think Messi solidified his reputation as one of the greatest players of all time by leading Argentina to the World Cup title last year. He has proven to be the finest in the world right now, says Simeone, the Argentine star’s compatriot and manager of Inter Miami.
SIMEONE SAID TO REPORTERS, “”Messi, he became world champion,”” when asked who he thinks is the finest player in the world right now. What else does he need to accomplish to maintain his status as the greatest of all time?
In the bigger picture, Messi’s career versus Simeone’s Madrid club, Barcelona’s regular La Liga title challengers, resulted in 15 goals scored in 30 games.
The 36-year-old still amazes despite being a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. In his first 11 games with Miami, he has scored 11 goals and helped them win the Leagues Cup for the first time in club history.On Saturday, he may play again if Inter Miami and Atlanta United meet in an Eastern Conference regular season match.
‘Without Sergio Busquets, Lionel Messi would find it harder’ – Ashley Westwood salutes ‘incredible’ impact of MLS rivals at Inter Miami
Ashley Westwood believes that Lionel Messi’s time in the United States would be “a bit harder” without Sergio Busquets, but that Messi has nonetheless made a “incredible” contribution.Since moving to the United States in the summer, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner—who is expected to earn an eighth Golden Ball in 2023—has swiftly made himself at home. Messi has helped Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup, advance to the U.S. Open Cup final, and have a legitimate opportunity at making the MLS Eastern Conference playoffs.
The collective standards have been elevated so much by Messi’s arrival in Florida that Inter Miami were able to keep winning without him throughout the international break. Even if Messi is the main draw, he is not a one-man show in the United States because they have also signed former Barcelona talents Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Westwood, who left Burnley for Charlotte FC in January, spoke highly of Messi’s influence on the MLS, telling Sky Sports, “The whole thing he’s brought to the MLS has been incredible.” Westwood added, “I’ve played against some unbelievable players in the Premier League but even at his age he’s still the greatest I’ve ever faced.” It’s also worth having Sergio Busquets in the middle of the field because he has a unique perspective. I think Messi would have a tougher time without Busquets, but with him in the middle of the field, he can always count on Busquets to find him. It was an honor to play against him, but he ultimately defeated us. If he ever visits us, though, I’m confident we can hold our own.The 2023 regular season for Inter Miami will conclude with two matches versus Charlotte FC. With a six-point deficit to make up as Messi returns to domestic action against Atlanta United on Saturday, they’ll hope to have already clinched a playoff spot by then.
