The MLS playoff dream has blurred out for Inter Miami. Following a closely contested defeat to Cincinnati, Lionel Messi and his teammates are no longer in contention for the next stages of the competition. With their sights now set on a resurgence in the forthcoming season, Tata Martino has a significant message for club owner David Beckham, hinting at a major overhaul in preparation for next year.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi also made his return to the bench after being sidelined for several weeks due to injury. The Inter Miami boss also provided an update on his condition.

Tata Martino has a message for David Beckham

Following the 0-1 loss against Cincinnati, during the press conference, Tata Martino made a comment suggesting that Inter Miami’s exit from the playoff race might be a blessing in disguise. As per the journalist of Pink Herons, Alex Windley, the main focus has always been on the 2024 season, with the 2023 season serving as a means to analyze what the team needs for the upcoming year.

As stated by Pink Herons, Martino said, “I’m satisfied with what we’ve done throughout the year. I always thought since the moment I took over the team that these six months were going to be to give it some shape, to get to know the players, and for the Club to have an excellent 2024.” The former River Plate coach also acknowledged the Leagues Cup win during the process of the team analyzing their objectives.

Tata Martino also claimed that three months ago, it was impossible to think of winning a title or playing two finals, all that after facing a lot of hurdles. In conclusion, the coach insisted he’s happy with the season and believes the assessment in remaining games will help them “make the best decisions for next year.”

Upon hearing this, it becomes evident that this message serves as an appeal to David Beckham to make some additions for the upcoming season. The Herons’ co-owner has most likely received the message loud and clear. However, he’s yet to respond to the same. But what precisely does Inter Miami require for the forthcoming season? Let’s dive deeper.

What does Lionel Messi and Co. need for Inter Miami 2024?

This year, the Herons sent shockwaves in the soccer world after signing Lionel Messi. The frenzy reached another level after they signed La Pulga’s former Barcelona teammates, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Subsequently, they also brought Tata Martino as the new coach. However, even after adding a tinch of fire in attack, midfield, and defense, something was lacking for Miami. So what do they need to thrive?

For the new season, signing better center-backs should be a top priority for the Florida club. This would help them concede less. Another agenda on the list should be getting a midfielder who can boss the center half of the pitch with Busquets. Lastly, a lead striker who can partner up with Lionel Messi could also help them in great ways. Certainly, a lot of work will require them to challenge and contest for silverware.
