I can t help! Messi was dragged down by his teammates again, Miami lost the initiative in the championship, but it s not bad

Football

In the cold Toronto, Messi and his Miami International stopped their winning streak, and they were tied 1-1 by their opponents ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference, and Messi was unable to achieve the feat of 4 consecutive goals. From the last game to the third-place New York City in the East to Toronto, who could not win the twelfth-place East in this game, the facts also seem to show that the dialogue between strong and strong may not be as difficult as imagined, and the abuse of food may not be as simple as imagined.

When Toronto goalkeeper Johnson saved Messi's tricky free kick arc in the 82nd minute, the sighs and applause at the BMO Stadium were in sharp contrast with the regretful expression on the King of Football's face. This draw not only ended the team's three-game winning streak, but also made the Eastern Conference regular season champion's initiative to defend the title fall into Philadelphia.

In the first half, Messi initiated an offense, Alba assisted Allende with a cross to score a header, and the team took the lead away, but the team's defense line once again played normally, watching the opponent play in a way that was almost watched and cooperated in his penalty area and scored easily. In terms of data, Miami International certainly has a clear advantage, but its 58% ball possession rate and 33 dangerous attacks are almost entirely supported by Messi alone, and the threat of 6 shots and 4 shots are all from the King of the World. However, the opponent's goalkeeper Johnson, who looks like the new Ko Jinba narrowly defeated Dembele, turned into a "wall of sighs". He was sure to score goals in four divine pounces, and his teammates had no ability to create absolute opportunities except Alba's assist.

Messi's dimensionality reduction strike further highlights the team's weakness. Stars such as Suarez and DePaul were all in vain. Rodriguez's shot that he received back from Messi became the closest moment when his teammates scored, but was also resolved by the goalkeeper. The team's "Messi dependence" seems to be getting worse. As long as Messi cannot perform as a super god, it will become difficult for the team to win. Even though they had a winning rate of more than 50% during Messi's absence, as long as they played with the King of Football, they would be much more likely to help.

And this draw also brought serious consequences. Currently, in the standings, Philadelphia United ranks first with 63 points, and only needs to win the remaining 2 rounds to lock the championship; Miami ranks fourth with 56 points, 7 points behind Philadelphia. Although he has two rounds less, even if he wins two rounds of make-up, he is still 1 point behind. If he wants to defend the Eastern Conference champion, he not only cannot make mistakes, but also needs to expect Philadelphia to make mistakes.

But even if the defending fails, Miami doesn't need to be frustrated. After all, for them, the championship is the ultimate goal and the playoffs are Messi's real stage. More importantly, the Eastern Conference championship won by the team last season is already the most important regular season champion in the history of the FA League, and even the most powerful regular season champion in major sports leagues in the United States. They were awarded the Club World Cup qualification by FIFA for this championship. This "wild card privilege" is the only honor in the history of the FA League, making countless championships beyond the reach, and it is unlikely that a team can replicate it in the future.
