Gérard Pique, the former Barça defender and former teammate of Lionel Messi, explained how the arrival of Pulga transformed Inter Miami.
According to the former Spanish international, the fact that Lionel Messi has joined the American club is already a huge success for the latter.
The Argentina star helped Inter Miami to be recognized worldwide and jerseys to be sold in large quantities.
“Messi won the MLS Supporters Shield? I think this is not his first victory for Inter Miami.
Messi has gained fans for Inter Miami all over the world. He gained the team a crowd that completely filled the stadium, he earned them a lot of money selling jerseys, attracting channels and fans.
He made the world know what Inter Miami is, and do you know what the biggest victory for this team is? It’s that Messi wears this jersey, it’s bigger than the title itself”.
Apart from Gérard Piqué, Xavi Hernandez also spoke on the subject and explained about David Beckham, the President of Inter Miami achieved a huge coup by successfully recruiting Messi.
“What Beckham did was smart, he knew the path to the title, he didn’t waste huge amounts of money on young players known in Europe, he didn’t have a strong team, he brought Messi because he knew he was the key to the title, if you have Messi you have everything.
Messi can move a whole team, he scores, he gives assists, and now you see that Messi has won the title.
He is a great leader, player and coach both on the pitch, he doesn’t need advice, just give him the ball and go and sit down. Messi wins titles wherever he goes because he is simply the best in the world”declared the former Barça coach.
