Ex-MLS Star Calls for Stronger Squad to Back Messi

Former U.S. soccer star Herculez Gomez has called on Inter Miami’s owners to provide more support for captain Lionel Messi, saying the superstar cannot carry the team alone. He emphasized that while Messi’s talent is unmatched, the team’s other players need to step up to help him shine.

Gomez highlighted that the squad’s inconsistencies have put too much pressure on Messi, making it difficult for him to consistently perform at his peak. He stressed that stronger team cohesion is essential for the club’s success.

The former player suggested that the club should look into strengthening the roster, ensuring that Messi is not burdened with responsibilities that other players could share. Gomez believes that improving overall team quality will enhance performance and results.

He concluded that while Messi’s presence is invaluable, it is crucial for Inter Miami to provide the right support around him. The team’s ability to compete at a higher level depends on collective effort, not just one individual’s brilliance.
