The 2023 Major League Soccer (MLS) season concluded prematurely for Inter Miami, leaving the team out of playoff contention. While the unexpected setback may have disappointed fans, it has provided star player Lionel Messi with ample time to rest and recharge before the commencement of the 2024 season in February.
As the new campaign approaches, Inter Miami is set to embark on a crucial preseason, complete with friendly matches to fine-tune their skills and build match fitness. Preseason friendlies serve as a pivotal period for players to regain their physical peak, especially considering the demands of playing full 90-minute matches and the potential for multiple games per week.
One of the most anticipated aspects of Inter Miami’s preseason is the return of Lionel Messi to the pitch. The Argentine maestro, who draws considerable attention wherever he goes, will be closely observed during the preseason friendlies. Initial plans hinted at Messi being part of a tour in China; however, recent developments suggest a change in those plans. Nevertheless, the prospect of facing familiar opponents adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming matches.
