The positive impact of Messi on Inter

Inter Miami Gerardo Martino believes Lionel Messi being there in the dressing room is helping the other players grow, as per Goal.com.

The ex-Barcelona manager is of the opinion that the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are having a good impact on the team because the rest of the players are learning and growing on a daily basis.

"What we have seen so far is that they are growing. They are not overshadowed by the greatness of the three players that we are talking about but instead are focused on being able to learn from everything that they have done in their careers," he told reporters.

"It is not easy for the players that we have here to receive players with so much history, with so many titles, with such good ability, with such a legacy in world football, In that sense, I think we are on the right track," he added.

After Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba was the 3rd former Barcelona player roped in by Inter Miami.

Messi 'coolest person'

Messi is ¡°the coolest¡± person in Miami in spite of LeBron James and Kim Kardashian coming to watch him play, says teammate Rob Taylor, as per Goal.com.

Messi is a star attraction in Florida after he moved to Inter Miami. After Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine skipper is doing his bit to raise the profile of MLS.

Taylor emphasizes that Messi is the best celebrity that he has met recently

¡°Leo is the coolest. There are some celebrities watching but Messi is the No.1,¡± he told Sky Sports.

If Inter is where Messi calls time on football, it will be a great honour for the club and MLS as well. But for now, the legend has gotten off to a great start. The season ahead is long. So it remains to be seen how things go forward.

The man who led Argentina to the Copa America title in 2021 and the FIFA World Cup crown in 2022, has represented the likes of Barcelona and PSG. Now he kicks off the possible final phase of his career at Inter.

At 36, Messi does not have too many years left in the game but expect him to give it his all in the coming games. By the time he hangs up his boots, his legacy will be second to none. In fact, it already is.

While there were rumours that Messi may return to Barcelona, his joining Inter came as a surprise. One man who is believed to have played an important part in convincing the legend is billionaire Jorge Mas. He persuaded Messi to join a team in last place in the MLS.
