With a rather long and strange tour, the Florida team prepared to undertake very long trips, from Florida they went to El Salvador, from El Salvador to Texas from Texas to Saudi Arabia, from Saudi Arabia to Hong Kong from Hong Kong to Japan, from Japan to Argentina until returning to the United States, that is, more than 37 thousand kilometers of travel in less than 30 days.

In general terms, the Inter Miami commanded by Gerardo Martino has obtained terrible results and the reality is that without Lionel Messi On the field the team loses interest and quality of play in an impressive way.

In their first match in El Salvador against La Selecta, the match did not offer anything interesting and ended with a dull 0-0 draw. For the second match they returned to the United States to face FC Dallas in Texas where they fell by the slightest difference 1-0 in just the first minutes of the game in another game without expectations.

From there they began their trip to Asia to play the two games in Saudi Arabia against Al Hilal and Al Nassr, both clubs with a squad full of good elements in all their lines and mostly consolidated after the last year, clearly saw themselves surpassed 4-3 and 6-0. In view of Al Hilal at least they competed with the presence of Messibut in the duel against Al Nassr without Messi (who only entered seven minutes in the final stretch when the game was already 6-0) practically went for the bearer check.

Again without Messi and now also without Luis Suarezhe Inter Miami visited Hong Kong to face their figures in a kind of All Stars, it was there where they were finally able to break the negative streak and achieved their first 1-4 victory.

In this way, so far they have recorded one win, one draw and three losses. But, they still have two friendly matches to play. This Wednesday, February 7 at 4:00 AM they will play against the Vissel Kobe and finally they will go to Argentina to play against Newell's Old Boys, the club from which he emerged Lionel Messi and of whom he has been a fan since he was a child.

This is how they will close their preseason and be ready to make their debut in the 2024 MLS season when they receive in Week 1 the Royal Salt Lake at the DRV PNK Stadium.
