'For God's sake!' - Taylor Twellman weighs in on criticism of MLS defenses as he compares Lionel Messi's strike for Inter Miami vs Atlanta to identical PSG effort
Taylor Twellman has given his take after one of Lionel Messi's strikes for Inter Miami against Atlanta United drew criticism of defenses in MLS.
WHAT HAPPENED? In his first one-and-a-half games Messi has already showcased his prowess, netting three goals and providing assists. One notable moment was during his first start against Atlanta, where he scored a brace, leading fans to question the quality of MLS defenses. In response to the criticisms, MLS legend Twellman tweeted a video comparison of Messi's goal against Atlanta and an almost identical one he had scored while playing for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 — considered to be among the top five leagues in Europe.
WHAT THEY SAID: The video has since been removed, but he also wrote: «I love reading the “indictments” of @MLS defending when @ATLUTD gave up 4 goals to…..the @NewYorkRedBulls for god sake. ATL are the worst defense in the league for me and that included the Miami team they just played that’s in last place. Just enjoy the games and quality.»
