Messi ‘at peace’ after father’s death, says Inter Miami coach
Coach Guillermo Hoyos says the Argentine star is expressing himself on the pitch, a place he knows to perfection.
Inter Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos commented on Lionel Messi's state of mind following his father's death. The 34-year-old Argentine footballer appears to be at peace, Hoyos stated. Messi's father, Jorge, passed away on August 8 at the age of 68 in Rosario, Argentina. Since his father's demise, Messi has returned to training with Inter Miami last week, making a substitute appearance in a League Cup match against Leon before starting the team's subsequent 4-1 defeat against Nashville.
Hoyos praised Messi's performance on the field, attributing his composure to being "at peace." Messi recently shared an emotional tribute to his father, describing him as his father, friend, and representative. He explained that he did not know how to continue without his father. Meanwhile, Inter Miami midfielder Casemiro also spoke about Messi's dedication in the face of his personal loss.
Casemiro highlighted Messi's exemplary commitment to the team, noting that it sets a great example for others. He expressed that Messi is undoubtedly going through a tough time, but his level of commitment to the club and players has been exceptional, something he has never witnessed before.
