Recently, Messi broke the news that David Beckham (David Beckham) will still participate in the daily training of the international Miami team.
身為 49 歲的前英格蘭國家隊隊長，貝克漢姆在曼聯、皇馬、米蘭、巴黎聖日爾曼留下過足跡，還在洛杉磯銀河隊征戰了五年美職聯，最終於 2013 年正式掛靴退役。自 2014 年他動用 2000 萬英鎊行使優先權，買下一支 “擴軍球隊” 的經營權後，便一直是國際邁阿密的股東之一。
In 2023, Messi joined the Florida-based team and instantly sparked a craze in football. His Inter Miami team, which includes former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez, Sergi Busquets and Jordi Alba, was controversial at the time by FIFA to award the team an expanded version of the Club World Cup.
The 37-year-old Argentine football superstar admits that Beckham has wowed him so far. Messi said: "The reality is impressive – David is an extremely good guy. Although he doesn't come to the club often, every time he comes to Miami, he stays here for a few days. We're in touch outside of the club as well, and we'll get together when he's in Miami. ”
He further added: "He is extremely simple, humble and gives people a particularly approachable feeling. Truth be told, he's a great guy. It's a bit of a novelty to see him involved in football as a non-player, after all, he was a legend in his playing days and is now an icon of the club. However, he still has the qualities of a player because he comes to the training ground, takes the initiative to touch football, participates in training and mingles with us. Every time he came to the team, he would do it. The most important thing is that he has always maintained that simplicity and affinity. I didn't know him before, and I didn't expect much, but his behavior gave me a great surprise. ”
As a World Cup winner, Messi has quickly made a significant impact on and off the pitch after joining Inter Miami. After his arrival, he helped the team win the CONCACAF League Cup in one fell swoop, and he also scored 10 goals personally. Last year, the team lifted the MLS Supporters' Shield with its best record in the regular season, but unfortunately lost to Atlanta United in the first round of the playoffs.
