Although it is a reality that Lionel Messi’s career is getting closer to its end. It is a fact that he did not despise his house, FC Barcelona or the Arab petrodollars, just to come to Miami for a walk. In the Argentine there is a commitment to help Inter and he confirmed it in his presentation.
Even the world champion in Qatar 2022 is clear about it and wants to start training as soon as possible to make his debut. Which is expected to be the following week in the Leagues Cup against Cruz Azul, from Mexico.
“I want to start training and start competing. I come here with the usual desire to compete and want to win. Of wanting to help the club to continue growing. I hope that during all this time you will continue to accompany us as you have been since the season began. Personally, and I have no doubts that with my teammates we will always give our best to try to achieve all the goals”, stressed Messi, who usually speaks more on the pitch than at the microphone.
He concluded: “I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues who are here, for the love and welcome from day one as well. I am very happy to have chosen to come to this city with my family and to have chosen this project. And I have no doubt that we are going to enjoy a lot, we are going to have a good time and very nice things are going to happen, thank you all very much for this day”.
Before concluding the presentation and to further strengthen ties, the Mas, Beckham, Messi and Busquets families gave each other a fraternal hug. The story of “Leo”, one of the greatest in soccer history, will continue in Miami.
Rain almost avoided the presentation of Messi
The rain looked like it was going to spoil the plans, but even that couldn’t stop Lionel Messi. His presentation was delayed for a few moments, but it was not cancelled. It was the day of “10” and nothing had to go wrong. The Argentine was officially presented as a new player for Inter Miami, of the United States MLS.
In a DRV PNK Stadium, which seemed like a building from any region of Argentina due to the atmosphere and the partying, Messi stepped foot and met what will be his home in what will apparently be his last years as a footballer.
Since his arrival in a black van accompanied by his family, Messi felt the affection of the fans. Many Argentines in the surroundings and in the stands gathered as if it were an Albiceleste game. The rain did not scare anyone away, they only had to wait a few more minutes for the massive ceremony to begin.
Messi is the diamond of the MLS and as such it would be necessary to receive it and take care of it. “It is a dream to be able to fulfill the wish of bringing Lionel Messi to Inter Miami,” said David Beckham, the glamorous former English soccer player who is co-owner and president of the American club. The other owners, Jorge and José Mas, could not be missing, nobody wanted to miss the event.
Busquets was also presented
As an introduction, Sergio Busquets was announced as a new signing, a midfielder who knows Messi perfectly and who will undoubtedly watch his back during this adventure in Florida.
Lionel Messi, faithful to his style, made his presentation with the simplicity that has characterized him, it was not a FIFA event, a suit and tie was not necessary, he knows that in the United States he will have more freedom and he let it be seen, even from days gone by in those who could be seen as a family in a supermarket.
The stands responded with the cry of “Messi, Messi, Messi”, the fireworks illuminated the building to round off the brightness that the “10” already gave in the center of the field. He immediately took the microphone and thanked all the love and support for him and his loved ones.
“First of all, I want to thank all the people of Miami for this welcome, for the love they have given me since I arrived in the city. I am excited, happy to be here in Miami with you”.
He added: “I want to thank Jorge, José, David and their families for welcoming us these days, for making us feel at home so quickly, for making everything easy for us. It was spectacular from the moment we arrived”.
