Megastar Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami. New signing for American club Inter Miami, seven-time golden ball winner Leo Messi “has made a promising debut”, said the Florida club’s co-owner David Beckham, who believes the Argentine will “need time to adapt”, and he added:

“Whatever their level, whatever their status, Leo (Messi) and Sergio Busquets will need time to adapt”, asserted Englishman David Beckham after seeing his 2 recruits, the former PSG striker and Barcelona midfielder, train for the first time in Miami. “Maybe they’ll surprise us, maybe we’ll win every game, but we have to be patient.”

Lionel Messi is the biggest star of world soccer to land in MLS since Brazilian Pele’s stint with the New York Cosmos (1975-1977), Messi, who has signed a contract until 2025, will wear his new colors from Friday’s match against Mexico’s Cruz Azul, according to Beckham. “Leo (Messi) will play part of the game but it will be up to the coach and Leo to judge whether he’s ready because we know he’s been away from the pitch for several weeks, with his family,” he recalled. But he looks fit.
