"That's all that matters. We know what we want. So I feel like I'm just fixated on what we do on the day. As much as I appreciate Messi, as soon as I'm playing against you, I couldn't care less about all of that stuff. I know what we want to do and we're trying to get the ninth win, so that's what I'm fixated on. I'm not just by myself on the pitch. Everyone does their little bit."
"Charlotte host Inter Miami on Sunday as they look to extend their winning streak to nine games, which would equal the Seattle Sounders' MLS record from 2018. Dean Smith's side could also book their spot in the playoffs if they manage to beat Miami and the New York Red Bulls drop points against the Portland Timbers. Charlotte are third in the Eastern Conference following their impressive run and four points ahead of Miami, who have played four fewer games."
"Miami will face Charlotte at a sold-out Bank of America Stadium without suspended talisman Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan forward was handed a three-match MLS ban for spitting on a member of staff from the Sounders after Miami's Leagues Cup final defeat. Former Miami head coach Tata Martino defended Suarez's behaviour, though. You hope situations like that never happen, Martino told The Athletic."
Wilfried Zaha says he will focus on helping Charlotte FC secure a ninth consecutive victory rather than on facing Lionel Messi. Charlotte host Inter Miami as they chase a nine-game streak that would equal the Seattle Sounders' MLS record from 2018 and could clinch a playoff spot depending on other results. Charlotte sit third in the Eastern Conference, four points clear of Miami, who have four games in hand. Zaha emphasized collective performance over individual brilliance and expects a different challenge. Miami will be without suspended striker Luis Suarez, who received a three-match ban for spitting.
