Inter Miami Vs New York City FC: 3 things to watch for – Last chance

1. Rodolfo Pizarro needs help

Rodolfo Pizarro has quietly been living up to his price tag. The Mexican has so far scored two goals in four games for Inter Miami and has been the metronome in the heart of their attacking play. However, he’s not the kind of player who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck. He needs help.

Matias Pellegrini and Lewis Morgan, so far, have been the two wide midfielders flanking Pizarro in attack. Morgan has shown his worth, being the main driving force in Inter Miami’s lone goal against the Union. Pellegrini, who got the assist for Pizarro’s goal against Philadelphia, has been slowly growing into his role of the left-hand side.

When they take on NYCFC, Pellegrini, and Morgan will have to involve themselves in the game more. NYCFC love to use their pace and wide players to create chances. Not only will Morgan and Pellegrini need to be on their toes offensively, but defensively, they will have to track back and help out their full-backs.

In the Group A finale, these two teams are playing for pride and three points. Pizarro is the star of the show for Inter Miami, but he needs help to secure the victory.
