Inter Miami really needs Lionel Messi. The team is struggling to compete this year, as they are at the bottom of the Easter Conference with five wins, three draws, and 14 matches lost.
Messi is aware of the enormous challenge he faces upfront. The Argentine striker shared a few words during his presentation, demonstrating his strong commitment to his new team and expressing his hope to swiftly change their situation.
“I want to thank all of you for the love I have received since my arrival,” Messi said. “I am very excited and happy to be here. I am eager to begin training and compete. I am determined to win and contribute to the team’s growth.”
According to reports, Lionel Messi’s first game with Inter Miami is scheduled to be against the Mexican team Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup on Friday, July 21st. It is anticipated that he will only play for a few minutes, given that he will have had just one week of training upon his arrival.
