The American League witnessed a strange situation and a rule that is not followed in the international leagues that Argentine star Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami striker, was subjected to. He expressed his anger at the regulations in the American Football League MLS during his team’s match against its host Montreal (3-2).
The match witnessed Messi sustaining an injury and receiving treatment, then he temporarily left the field. According to the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, there is a rule in the American League that indicates that a player receiving treatment on the field must wait two minutes, before returning to the field again. .
When this happened, the camera next to Messi captured Messi showing his anger and saying in a clear voice: “This rule is incorrect and not good.”
Messi did not calm down and showed his anger, because while he was outside the field, he saw his colleague Matias Rojas score a goal from a free kick, in a wonderful way, which Messi could have executed himself.
Today Messi was injured. He was treated, but he had to wait two minutes and was not allowed to enter due to the American League’s rules. Messi was angry and said (this is not good and we are going in the wrong direction) because he wanted to shoot the ball, but…
Rojas, his colleague, scored fantastically at dawn today 😨😳
