Messi's comments to Inter Miami teammate

USMNT star Julian Gressel recently shed light on Messi’s attitude in the locker room.

Speaking on the Major League Journeymen podcast, Gressel revealed how frustrated Messi gets after a draw.

"It’s unacceptable to tie a game,” Gressel shared, recounting moments where Messi voiced his disappointment after matches.

“We tied a game earlier in the year, and he was really upset, saying: ‘We shouldn’t tie, we can’t tie.’”

Gressel explained how Messi and other stars like Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets push their teammates. “They demand excellence,” he said.

Messi often communicates calmly, offering direct advice, while Suarez is more outspoken. Both approaches ensure the team stays focused on one goal: winning.

How was Inter Miami's 2024 season?

Despite helping Inter Miami secure a record-breaking Supporters’ Shield in 2024, ultimate MLS Cup success slipped through Messi’s fingers.

With 12 months left on his contract, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has multiple opportunities to add more silverware, including the MLS Cup, Leagues Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

For Messi, every game is about striving for perfection. And for Inter Miami, the challenge is living up to the sky-high expectations of a footballing icon.
