00:00Let's talk about some other team because there's something happening in Miami as they try to become an important team
00:06in the East, as they try to become invincible at their new stadium, there's a broken relationship between La Barra
00:15y los jugadores.
00:16Chiva, I know that you know very, very well the importance of having La Barra, el aficionado number 12, connected
00:25with the players.
00:26And unfortunately, Miami does not feel that way. We saw La Barra cantando, por favor. Es más, Chiva, te la
00:35dejo.
00:36Yeah, I mean, shame on you, Messi, DePaul, and Suárez for walking away without recognizing your fans.
00:43What the fans wanted, what the fans needed, and that's something that has happened with the latest TV4.
00:47Me in particular had an argument with a player because of this reason.
00:52When you're there as a fan, all you want is for the players to recognize what you're doing, which is
00:58supporting, regardless of the score, because we're there no matter what.
01:01Even if we win or lose, we're always chanting, singing, et cetera, et cetera.
01:04Well, that's the same thing that the people from Miami, La Familia, Vice City, all of them, that's what they
01:07wanted from the players.
01:09And they went on a strike, you can call it, 85 minutes of silence.
01:13And then at the 85th minute, they started singing this song that has no offensive language at all.
01:19They were only asking their players to respect the hinchada and say hi to them.
01:24And it doesn't cost them anything, basically. That's what the chants said.
01:27And, Chiva, what was the response of the players at this request from the fans?
01:30Honestly, it's sad to see a player like Messi that thinks that, you know, they cannot tell them anything.
01:35He turns around and he tells them, la gente de Argentina sabe que significa esto.
01:40So it's sad to see something like that from a player like Messi.
01:44You know, around the Argentinian football world, they're criticizing the Miami fans.
01:49They're saying that they're nobody only because they're from an MLS team when at the end of the day, you
01:54know,
01:54they're there to support their players.
01:56And the players, instead of, for example, Wertherame, went out and said, you know what, we apologize with the fans.
02:01They're right. You know, we should at least recognize what they're trying to do for us.
02:04Why do you guys love to hate on Miami so much? Why?
02:08I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell you why also.
02:10Because if you bring a player like Messi, the standard is different.
02:14You cannot bring Messi and let him become Aitor Cantorne from Club de Cuervos.
02:20You cannot bring a player of that caliber to a league and have him act like he's beyond everything.
02:27Beyond the fans, beyond the refs, beyond the rules.
02:29That's not what he came for. He is the standard bearer for MLS.
02:33He has to behave in an exemplar way.
02:36And the relationship, that's the difference between MLS and all of the other leagues.
02:40That's the reason why these players come to the MLS, because their kids can sit on the sidelines,
02:44because their families can watch on the front row.
02:46And the reason why is because of the respectful relationship there is with the stars and the fans.
02:52I agree. I do think you guys are a little bit harsh on them because it's Miami.
02:56But I will say this. You talked, Chiva, about LAFC maybe prioritizing European players from across the pond
03:02and not players here, in Latin America specifically.
03:07Miami, and this is connected to Galaxy, is bringing Casemiro now, most likely after the World Cup.
03:12Discovery rights from Galaxy, whatever that means, that's a uniquely MLS thing.
03:15I don't actually even know what the heck discovery rights are for.
03:18I don't know why that's there.
03:19But Casemiro coming in, another Brazilian, another South American, cementing Miami as this strong South American foothold.
03:27I think it's going to be pretty awesome to watch.
03:29Besides all the drama that you guys like to dive into, the cheese mail, all of that, I'm talking about
03:33the football itself.
03:34I think Miami is creating something important.
03:37And that's why we need to keep them at the highest standard possible because they will be measured as the
03:44standard bearer for MLS.
