Former American Football: Messi says the APF should examine the referee issue? He is making excuses; frustrated with the team

May 22nd: In the game where Miami International lost 0-3 to Oakland City in the regular season, the Oakland City goalkeeper received the pass, but the referee did not make a penalty. After the game, Messi said that the referee said he did not know the rules and the US League should carefully examine the referee issue.

Former U.S. international Elcules Gomez said of Messi: "This is a reason and an excuse, he doesn't want to fool anyone. First of all, I think Messi is the best player in history, and no one will question Messi's greatness and his position in world football.

"But if you watch Miami International, if you keep paying attention to them, as we have said before, Messi is frustrated with the team's situation and the ability of his teammates. For quite some time, we have seen and heard this frustration. In addition to what he said to the referee during last week's match against San Jose, it can be seen from Messi's body language in the past five games at Miami International.

"Messi can still change the game, and Alba, Busquets, and Suarez can also change the game. But over time, they cannot maintain this level for a long time, but should make some choices. As for the American League, this is a field that pays great attention to physical fitness. If your team can have a player who does not need to run, and then he is Messi, it doesn't matter. If two players don't run, then your team needs some luck.

"Suarez was able to score more than 20 goals last year and assists were double-double, which is a very strong performance. But if Busquets, Alba, Messi and Suarez don't run, and the other players are not able to become organizers, respond wisely or make decisions when needed, then other opponents will deal with Miami International like Vancouver and Orlando.

"Actually Messi understands this, so he can only vent his anger on the referee. But this is not the referee's problem, but Miami International's own strength is too bad."
