Cincinnati forward Brandon Vazquez finds himself in the eye of a storm after he asked Lionel Messi to sign his shirt after U.S. Open Cup defeat.
"Absolute joke - and if I'm a fan, and I see the players that I've come to see win a game, acting like fun boys after the game when they've just lost a cup semi-final.. I would prefer to say other words, but I'm not allowed to," he said.Nicol's colleague, Moreno, who is also a former MLS player, echoed the sentiments of the former Liverpool defender and criticised Vazquez in the same vein.
"I don't care if it's Lionel Messi, I don't care if it's Maradona, I don't care if it's Pele, I don't care," Moreno said "He's an opponent that is keeping you from achieving your goals as an individual and as a team. And yet, and yet, where is the competitive pride? Where is the respect for your organization, for your club, for your teammate, for yourself?
"Where is the self respect and the sense of pride in knowing that you've just lost an opportunity to win a title for your club? Now, people will say, 'Well, this is after the game. So why does it matter?' It does matter... because if you have a marker in your hand, you thought about this before the game. If indeed you're willing to line up minutes after you've just lost it because you've thought about this before the game.
"And so you can't tell me that you're giving the very best of yourself that is available to you. In order to beat Inter Miami against Lionel Messi. If you're concerned about getting an autograph from the guy. You cannot beat the guy if you continue to treat him as a God, as a deity, as an untouchable. He is good enough. Trust me. He doesn't need your help," he further stated.
