How Lionel Messi’s meteoric rise at Inter Miami began

Apple’s ‘Messi Meets America’ began with a chapter that provided context for how Inter Miami signed arguably the greatest player of all time. Messi himself provided his thoughts on the matter.

It was revealed in the first episode just how far David Beckham and the Mas brothers went this past summer to sign Lionel Messi to the club.

In the documentary, Beckham is quoted as saying, “There’s a lot of hard work that has to be done to bring a player like Leo into this league, and we were prepared to do that.”There are a lot of moving parts that need to be in place before you can even begin talking to Leo because of the importance of bringing him and his family to Miami.

According to Messi, Beckham gave him advice on the league and what it was like for him when he joined LA Galaxy in 2007.Translation: “He guided me and told me a little bit about his experience, what it had been like for him to come and play here when he made the decision,” Messi stated in Spanish (subtitles).

He also noted that the league has expanded significantly since his arrival, so things are different now.Messi joined Inter Miami this past summer after weighing a return to Barcelona and a move to Saudi Arabia.

Messi declared, “I came with great enthusiasm.” My family and I have had a great time here, and we’ve been discussing what the future holds. And that’s a good beginning.

As Messi put it, “to know that we were going in the same direction that we had the same idea and the same desire to make the club grow and be a club that people can identify with and come to love” was crucial to his feeling of unity with Beckham and the other owners.

Beckham and Mas scored a major victory with his acquisition, proving to their supporters that they would, in fact, bring the finest players in the world to Florida.

Beckham defended the Dolphins’ choice to sign Leo to a long-term contract by saying, “We did this not just for us, not just for our fans – but we did it for the league, for the sport, and for America.” “But the world’s gaze follows,” he continued.

The world saw a Miami squad in disarray when Messi first came.Prior to Messi’s arrival in July, the club had gone eleven games without a league victory, beginning with a 2-1 victory against the New England Revolution.

Phil Neville coached that squad. Neville was fired in early June after only five more games as manager.

“I didn’t want us to be at the bottom of the league when he arrived, but we didn’t win those games,” Beckham stated.

The situation wasn’t looking good for us. The team’s confidence and morale were at an all-time low. This simply wasn’t acceptable.

A poor season in the league in terms of results and standings, Messi said, “We came from.” But we also saw it as a chance to make some positive changes.

They had their first opportunity to accomplish so in a Leagues Cup encounter against Cruz Azul of Liga MX. Messi spent the first part of the game on the bench but was itching to get some action.Messi sаid, “I wаs very excited tо plаy аgаin.” It wаs а pretty clоse mаtch, аnd I wаnted tо be оut there tо аid my side, sо I wаs crоssing my fingers thаt they’d let me in.

“It was crucial for us to get off to a winning start, and we had the opportunity to do so.”

Despite Messi’s protests, American right back and Inter Miami captain DeAndre Yedlin awarded the armband to Messi as soon as he entered the game.

Upon entering the game, Messi was offered the armband but he declined it. I had no problem with him being the captain. He was adamant that I would take command instead.

“It wаs crаzy hоw it hаppened,” he sаid. I never, ever thоught it wоuld turn оut thаt wаy.

“Of course you think the best, and you always have big dreams, right?” However, the reality was that I hadn’t made it up.

“It was incredible to be able to get off to such a good start considering all the pressure I was under, given that it was my first minutes in my first home game and that it resulted in a victory for my team in the nick of time. Truly.’
