Daily News | Jim Curtin says Union ‘won’t be scared’ going up against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami
in the quarterfinals on Friday, the “M-word” was all anyone could talk about.
“If Messi receives the ball, it’s too late,” said Curtin. “We’re in trouble. We’ve messed up if he receives the ball at his feet. So can we now, in a smart way, try to cut out the weapons that get him the ball on the ground?” “Obviously a fellow countryman on the other team that’s pretty good at soccer,” Curtin said. “But [Carranza] picked up a grade one sprain, which is a hamstring strain that, look, again, news-wise that’s probably the best news we could have got. Probably won’t be from the start, but if he’s around even to take a penalty kick, or run around for a little bit of time without the risk of further injury, we’ll see where that stands.
