The Devil s schedule drags down superstars? Messi scored 10 goals and scored 0 rare sluggishly, leaving the court silently after the game

In the AMF Miami International's home match against Chicago Flames, the team lost 3-5. After the game, star Messi went straight back to the locker room without communicating with anyone. This detail became the most eye-catching scene of the night. Team reporter José Armando reported that Messi failed to score 10 shots in the game, with a score of 7.1 after the game. The team lost in front of home fans, widening the gap with the top of the Eastern Conference to 7 points, and the prospect of the regular season championship was cast.

This game evolved into a fierce offensive battle, and Miami International's defense issues were exposed again. Although Suarez scored twice and tied the score, the team's defensive performance of conceding 5 goals has put the offensive efforts in vain. The loss ended the team's unbeaten momentum of 3 wins and 1 draw in the last four rounds. Fans bluntly said in the comment section, "It's okay if the defense is poor, I won't buy people." They accurately pointed out the team's dilemma.

Messi's struggle in this game was particularly obvious: 10 shots were only 2 shots, including one hit on the goal frame; 5 attempts failed all; 26 losses of the ball, and the passing success rate was as low as 69.4%; 10 ground confrontations were only 3 successful. After the game, he did not communicate with his opponent, teammate or referee, and left the court with a serious expression, which was in sharp contrast to his usual image of walking side by side with his friend Suarez. There are multiple factors behind the abnormality. Miami International is facing a devilish schedule of 6 games in 16 days. The comment pointed out that "four 'old men' of thirty-seven or eight games can't stand it even if they play 6 games in 16 days." This poses a huge physical challenge to veterans such as Messi and Suarez.

Tactically, the opponent targets Messi's personal breakthroughs and shots, and the team's offense relies too much on him. Once he is in poor condition, the overall system will stagnate. The team is currently facing two rounds of unwinding. Although they rank fourth in the Eastern Conference with 56 points, they are 7 points behind the top, and there is little hope of competing for the regular season championship. Ensuring a playoff spot has become a more realistic goal. Messi's rare downturn and silent departure sent strong signals that continuous competitions and team difficulties may make him physically and mentally exhausted. Head coach Mascherano needs to urgently solve the problems of how to buy recovery time for veterans and consolidate the defensive system. Fans recommend decisive rotation to ensure the team remains competitive in the playoffs. This defeat is not only a regular season defeat, but also a serious warning. If you want to make a difference in the playoffs, Miami International must help Messi get back to form as soon as possible and balance offensive and defensive strategies.
