More than a year after his departure from PSG, Lionel Messi is having a blast both at club and national level. Champion of the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer in the regular season, the captain of Inter Miami did not hide his joy during the celebrations by even letting the goalkeeper lift the trophy.
Lionel Messi lived two seasons of happiness at PSG. On the one hand because of the conditions in which his arrival suddenly took place in the summer of 2021. During his first press conference at theInter Miami in 2023, the Argentinian has emptied his bag. “As I said, my departure to Paris was not something I wanted, leaving Barcelona was not something I wanted and it happened, so to speak, overnight.”
“It was difficult, the opposite of what is happening to me here at the moment”
“I had to adapt to a totally different place than where I had lived my whole life, both in terms of the city and in a sporting sense, and it was difficult, the opposite of what I’m here right now”. Lionel Messi then recognized that he was once again fulfilled and at ease in his sporting and family environment in Miami after his two years at PSG. Moreover, the co-owner of the Florida franchise that is David Beckham told a funny anecdote in an interview with Rio Ferdinand on the first steps of Messi in training.
“He arrived at 6:50 a.m., there was no one there”
“His first day at the training center. He arrived at 6:50 in the morning, there was no one there except the one who was there to open the door for him. The team practiced at 10 a.m., but he arrived three hours early to prepare. He was in the weight room, he was warming up and he was doing all the things you can expect from a young player and he still does it. At his age and with everything he’s accomplished in his career, you might expect him to be a bit more of a dilettante, but no, he’s a winner.”
Which says a lot about the involvement and professionalism of Lionel Messi. At the age of 37, Messi scored a hat-trick against New England Revolution Saturday (6-2). Already champion of the Eastern Conference, the’Inter Miami lifted the regular season trophy. Messiover the moon and all smiles, left him Drake Callender.
