Inter Miami and Nashville SC will face each other this Saturday, April 20, in a match corresponding to the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season. The Herons are in first position in the Eastern Conference with 15 points in nine games played. On the other hand, the Coyotes are off to a slow start and have just seven points in seven games, occupying the penultimate place in the standings in the same conference.
Below we will tell you how Lionel Messi and company's team would turn out for this match against Nashville.
Goalkeeper: Drake Callender – The goalkeeper has to rebuild his confidence after the mistakes he made in the semifinal against Monterrey in the Concachampions. Will he be able to get up from this hard blow?
Right back: Marcelo Weigandt – The Argentine full-back has taken the place left vacant by DeAndre Yedlin. The 24-year-old footballer arrived from Boca Juniors. Martino has given him minutes.
Central defense: Tomás Avilés – The young Argentine defender is fully trusted by 'Tata'. Avilés came to this club to be the undisputed starter. This season, the 20-year-old has been active in 13 games (nine in the league and four in Concachampions).
Central defense: Nicolás Freire – The Argentine defender arrived as reinforcement for this season after his adventure in Greece. Freire has received minutes, but in Concachampions he left a lot to be desired. He will continue to be a starter while Sergiy Kryvtsov recovers.
Left back: Jordi Alba – It is clear that Alba's best days have already passed. The Spanish defender still has a great touch and good ability to assist his teammates, but physically it is already difficult for him.
Inside Right: Julian Gressel – The American/German soccer player can adapt to different positions, as 'Tata' Martino needs. He seems to look better when he's in the middle of the court.
Central midfielder: Sergio Busquets – The Spanish midfielder is still characterized by his elegance and his dominance in the middle of the field. As with other star reinforcements for this season, in the physical department it is already beginning to cost him. He needs a lot of support from his teammates in the middle of the field.
Inside left: David Ruiz -The 20-year-old Honduran soccer player is an element that has good mobility and can help Busquets in defensive and recovery tasks. It is one of the talents that Martino seeks to enhance.
Right winger: Lionel Messi – Despite the criticism that the Argentine star receives, he continues to show his high level. This season he has five goals and two assists in five MLS games and two goals and two assists in three Concachampions games.
Center forward: Luis Suárez – The legendary 37-year-old Uruguayan striker has landed on the right foot in the MLS. Suárez has six goals and three assists in eight games in the American league and two goals and two assists in four Concacaf games.
Left winger: Diego Gómez – The Paraguayan footballer is one of the most promising elements that Inter Miami has in its squad. The former Libertad player has two goals and two assists in eight games in the MLS and one assist and one goal in Concachampions.
