Gressel: “I approach Messi and say: ‘Five assists?’

Leo Messi’s performance last weekend continues to make headlines. Julian Gressel, star signing of the ‘Herons’ this season, commented for the Player Manager podcast how Messi reacted privately after his performance. The Argentine closed a ‘little hand’ of assists against New York Red Bull to practically certify his candidacy for MVP of the season. However, far from boasting about an honorable performance, the Argentine took him on as one of his own.

“When I get to the locker room, I usually go around to cheer the guys on, sometimes with a high five or a little chat. So when it was Leo’s turn, I walked up, gave him a high five and said, ‘Five assists today? Wow,’ and he answers, ‘Yes,’ but very shy, looking at the ground and telling me yes, and he started smiling shyly,” Gressel commented with a smile from ear to ear. “It was a very nice moment to see his humility again. Obviously he was happy and we were too. “He is the most normal Leo, he acted as if nothing had happened,” he concluded.

Inter Miami is entrusted with ten

Messi is close to certifying a season to mark. The Argentine scores, assists or both at the same time in every game he plays with Inter Miami. At the moment he already has more goals and assists than games played this season (10 + 9 in eight games). With a dozen goals in his backpack, the Argentine co-leads the MLS scoring table along with Luis Suárez. Statistics predict that, if he continues at this pace, Messi could leave a new mark at the end of the season.
