Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lionel Messi does the ‘black panther Wakanda’ sign after scoring 2nd goal against Orlando City.
Orlando City manager Oscar Pareja was quite unhappy with the referee’s performance tonight: “We have to start with the reality of…the call of the penalty kick and other calls were ridiculous. Today was a circus. The penalty kick was unbelievable. I don’t know if the VAR came today. If the VAR came today, then we have to be honest.
“There was a double yellow card for Messi. I don’t care if he was Messi. That affected the game. We are frustrated. The match should be fair, and that was not the case on the field today. We take our responsibility, OK, but I have to say that. You can not hide this type of situation.”
DeAndre Yedlin spoke to Apple TV about the match: “We had a bit of a difficult time in the first half. I think we were just rushing things, trying to play too difficult of passes. Tata stressed in the second half just keep staying on the ball and we’ll find opportunities. With players like we have up front they’re bound to score. Credit to Orlando they gave us a tough game.”
On what Messi brings to Inter Miami: “He just gives everybody confidence around him. You know you can give him balls in difficult situations and he’s going to make something out of it. On the flip side, for the teams that we’re playing against, it puts a bit of fear in their eyes, they’re on their heels a bit, they’re dropping back a bit more and it gives us a bit more space to play.”
Lionel Messi scored in his third straight game for Inter Miami after the start of the Leagues Cup match against Orlando City was delayed by 95 minutes due to inclement weather.
Once again, Taylor and Messi’s partnership helped Miami take the early lead over Orlando City in the seventh minute.
