Star player for Inter Miami Leo Afonso talked about playing against the Philadelphia Union last night without Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez.

The Herons played their first game of the summer without its two attacking stars, Messi and Suarez, who are now preparing for their respective countries’ Copa America matches against Uruguay and Argentina next week.

Furthermore, Afonso has recently disclosed what it was like to play last night without Messi and Suarez.Afonso acknowledges that Inter Miami finds it “difficult” without Messi and Suarez.After Inter Miami’s victory last night, Afonso spoke with Apple TV and acknowledged that the team is struggling without Messi and Suarez, despite the Herons’ best efforts to make up for the loss of brilliance.

The victory last night showed just how successful Inter Miami can be even without its best players; Afonso came through with a game-winning goal in the final seconds after Julian Gressel tied the score for the Florida team.

And Inter Miami will feel more confident going into future matches since they know that this is just the beginning of a challenging run of games.”It’s difficult when you’re missing the best players in the history in their position, but we have to keep working and we have to try our best, and that’s what we did tonight,” Afonso stated after yesterday night’s victory without Messi and Suarez.

Inter Miami must demonstrate that they can succeed without their best players.Inter Miami has demonstrated time and time again that they can win games handily even without elite players like Messi and Suarez, but the Herons must go on a winning run to convince opponents that they are still a formidable team.

Given that the Herons are the clear favorites to win the MLS Cup, the team’s ability to improve as a whole without Messi and Suarez might pay off handsomely in the long run, as Inter Miami is among the strongest teams in the league.

Additionally, Tata Martino’s team will be sending a strong message to the rest of the league about their already exceptional MLS Cup credentials if they can build on their victory from yesterday night.
