Cristiano Ronaldo had to wait an entire season for his first prize in Saudi Arabia, and Lionel Messi could do it in his first month in the United States. Inter Miami will play the League Cup final on Saturday, and “It will be really amazing,” Messi said.
A world of difference. Prior to the arrival of Lionel Messi, Inter Miami was hanging at the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference standings. In the last 10 league matches, he hasn’t managed a single win.
A month after the arrival of the Argentine star, Inter Miami suddenly found itself in the final of the League Cup. If they beat Nashville on Saturday, it will be the club’s first-ever title.
Also for Messi, who has won almost everything in his career, it would be an “amazing” and “beautiful thing” to give Miami the top prize.
In 6 matches, Messi has already scored 9 goals. “It would be incredible, wouldn’t it?” Messi said in his first press conference. “For me and the fans. For everyone who has helped this club grow. It will be really amazing.”
I came here with the desire to get the same results that I achieved earlier in my career.
In one month, Messi has already brought a winning culture to Miami. A ticket to the CONCACAF Champions League has already been received, but the Argentine is chasing after the trophy.
“I came here with the desire to get the same results that I had earlier in my career,” said Messi. His palms already include 10 La Liga titles with Barcelona, the Champions League Cup, the World Title with Argentina and Olympic gold.
“The fact that we are now in the final is just a surprise to people who don’t see us training and don’t see what happens every day. From our point of view, we feel we are ready to win the title.”
Messi: Very happy with my decision
Messi has not yet regretted his choice to the American League. “I have received a great welcome here,” he said. “I am very happy with the decision I made.”
The Argentine admitted that he still has to adapt to his new environment. His family is temporarily residing in South Florida while they search for a permanent home.
However, he absorbs the transition more easily than his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. “Going to Paris was neither planned nor wanted. I didn’t want to leave Barcelona and it became difficult. Fortunately, the opposite is happening now.”
“I just came here to play and continue to enjoy my football,” he concluded.
“Subtly charming internet specialist. Avid writer. Friendly alcohol guru. Music ninja. Devoted social media fanatic.”
