As is known, Tyler Hall is a player who defends the United States club, Inter Miami. This club is also where Lionel Messi currently resides.

With his status, Hall does not deny that he will have the opportunity to train with Messi. This made him also gain a lot of knowledge from the star.

"Seeing him (Lionel Messi) on and off the field has made me learn a lot for personal development," said Tyler Hall after the match at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) on Wednesday, October 15 evening.

Hall also revealed that the eight-time Ballon D'or winner is someone who is fantastic on the field.

“Yes, I trained with Messi (while at the club). He's a really fantastic guy with the ball. "Off the field he is such a good guy," said Tyler Hall.

In the match against Burkina Faso U-17, Tyler Hall and the team managed to secure the full three points after winning 2-1.

The additional three points give the United States U-17 a big chance of securing a ticket to the round of 16 because they have earned six points from two matches.

Even so, the United States U-17 cannot relax because after this they will still face a tough opponent, namely France U-17 in the final match of Group E which will take place on Saturday, November 18 2023.

Regarding the final group match, Hall said he couldn't wait to face France U-17 and would try hard to get three points again.

“We are really looking forward to facing France U-17. It will be a big step, but we will be humble because after all they are a strong team. "We will work hard and very hard," said the central defender.
