Inter Miami's strategy of building a team around Messi in the offseason aims to achieve a higher level of competition in the new season. However, in the three warm-up matches that have ended, Inter Miami have been disappointing, with only 1 draw and 2 defeats. In the fourth warm-up match against Riyadh Victory, the expected Mero duel was wiped out due to Ronaldo's absence due to injury.
Although Inter Miami had stars such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in action, the team's performance in the game was not as good as it could have been. Throughout the game, Inter Miami's backline made frequent mistakes, allowing Riyadh Victory's attacking players to score repeatedly.
In the 4th minute of the game, Otavio, who won Riyadh, scored after a steal. Six minutes later, Talisca scored another goal after a flanking goal. In the 13th minute, Laporte scored directly from a free kick to extend the score to 3-0. In the 50th minute, Talisca scored a penalty kick to make it 4-0. Then, Malan scored with a header and Talisca scored a hat-trick with a solo goal, and the final score was fixed at 6-0.
Riyadh Victory's high pressing tactics were a huge success in the game, while Inter Miami looked helpless. This also made many Ronaldo fans happy, because in this game, they witnessed the victory of Ronaldo's team, which can be regarded as winning back some face for the president to some extent.
Does anyone else say that the level of competition in Saudi Arabia is low?
