“They Need Neymar” is what fans say after Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez fail to impress as FC Dallas beats Inter Miami in pre-season friendlies.

Recently, Inter Miami faced a surprising defeat in their second pre-season game against FC Dallas, despite the presence of soccer stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets. The match, held at the Cotton Bowl Stadium, began unfavorably for Inter Miami, with Dallas scoring early due to Jesus Ferriera’s effort, though they lost Ferriera to injury later. Messi and Suarez both struggled to score, with Messi missing a couple of significant chances, including an attempt directly from a corner and a collaboration with Busquets.

The team’s performance has led to varied reactions from fans, with some suggesting the addition of Neymar to strengthen the team. Criticisms were also directed at the team’s defense and the lack of effective communication and coordination between different parts of the team. Some comments pointed out the necessity of integrating younger players instead of relying solely on veterans.


Fans expressed their frustration with the team’s lack of clinical finishing and raised concerns about whether the team’s current composition is holding back Messi’s performance. This match and the subsequent reactions have brought Inter Miami, a franchise co-owned by David Beckham, under scrutiny once again, highlighting several areas of concern regarding the team’s overall effectiveness.
