Who was in the wrong Messi or Ballouchy ?
It is not the start to the season that Messi would have wanted to have three games into the new MLS season. The pair had exchanged some words in the heat of the moment which led to him put his hands around Ballouchy’s neck. In football contests after a tense match like that where neither team got the result that they wanted it is understandable to have such heated exchanges. One of the reason why football fans love the game is the passion, the aggression and the tense moments. The adrenaline pumping through the players veins to cause an dramatic scene is what the fans want to see. Heated moments is what adds to the excitement of the beautiful game. Messi will be hoping to put this behind him with a good season.
How will La Pulga respond to this backlash ?
Many fans will blame the action of Messi asking how can a star player and captain get so aggressive. However it is key to remember that Ballouchy could have said something that provoked him. After a game like that where Inter Miami picked up a single point it is understandable that players would be enraged at such a result. It is yet to be confirmed what Ballouchy said to enable the reaction of Messi but it remains to be seen in the coming weeks and months. Many could even argue that it was a soft call since he never put his hands around his neck with force.
