Goalkeeper: Drake Callender – Surely the team's tour has not been what the goalkeeper expected, since he has conceded several goals, however, it is known in advance that he should take it easy because he will be the starter in the following season.
Defense: Serhiy Kryvtsov – One of the leaders of the defense, so he must lift the spirits of his fellow defenders after what happened against Al-Nassr.
Defense: Tomás Avilés – Being a young defender, it is certain that the coach Gerardo Martino It has it as one of the pillars for the following years.
Defense: Noah Allen – The 19-year-old youth player is in charge of closing the center in the line of 5, so he will have to stay tied despite the fact that he prefers to appear as a left back.
Left back: Jordi Alba – One of Messi's friends from whom a lot is expected for everything he achieved in Barcelona and the Spanish national team. He is far from the best version of him.
Right Back: DeAndre Yedlin – In the last match, the veteran started on the bench, entering as a substitute Jordi Alba to appear on the left, however, its profile is on the right.
Pivot: Sergio Busquets – With all the experience he brings, in addition to the injury of Lionel Messithe Spaniard must carry the weight of the midfield to orchestrate and put together the plays.
Midfielder: Julian Gressel – The German right interior, who was MLS Rookie of the Year in 2017, has a lot of experience in the MLS, so he should have greater weight.
Midfielder: David Ruiz – One of the doubts for El Tata Martino will be if the Argentine pivot should appear in the starting eleven to accompany Busquets in the matter of recovery or if he will opt for someone more versatile like the Brazilian Gregore da Silva.
Forward: Luis Suárez – Against Al-Nassr, the Uruguayan had some opportunities to score without achieving it. It's a good time to get even for the strangled cry of a goal.
Forward: Leo Campana – Without La Pulga in the attack, everything indicates that the Ecuadorian will once again accompany Luis Suárez on the front. This time the pink box is expected to really score.
This is what Inter Miami's possible lineup (5-3-2) would look like:
Goalie:Drake Callender
Defenses: Serhiy Kryvtsov, Noah Allen, Tomás Avilés, Jordi Alba, DeAndre Yedlin
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Julian Gressel, David Ruiz
