"I just coach and use the players I'm given. I hope so - I'm very optimistic, and I hope he can be there. Of course, I'd love for him to play. It would be a pleasure to work, even if just for a short time, with the greatest of all time."
"Every single time I get to face one of those teams or if it's MLS vs. LIGA MX All-Stars, it always adds a bit of motivation for me just because of my background, and obviously my ties with the Mexico national team and wanting to represent."
Nico Estevez, head coach of Austin FC, expressed his enthusiasm for potentially coaching Lionel Messi during the MLS All-Star Game against Liga MX. The game will take place at Q2 Stadium, marking the fourth time the inter-league format is used. Estevez mentioned uncertainty regarding Messi's participation due to training absences but remains hopeful. Additionally, 19-year-old Obed Vargas is seizing this opportunity as he aims for a spot on the Mexican national team in the upcoming World Cup.
