Martino, who was named Miami's coach on June 28, confirmed Monday that Messi would be the team's captain against Atlanta and moving forward. The match was also Martino's first against his former club, which he led to the MLS Cup title in 2018.
When those two are on the field, you know you're in for a tough game." And I think also the teams that we're playing against now have a bit of fear in their eyes. But I think just their presence gives everybody more confidence. "Since those two have gotten here, the spirit has changed," Miami right-back DeAndre Yedlin said. "These two players are so good at what they do, they create space," Martino said. Martino managed Messi and Busquets for a season at Barcelona and said after the match he wasn't surprised to see them connect for the opening goal.
