Lionel Messi ‘s revolution in the United States continues. A little over a year after his arrival at Inter Miami, the Argentine star continues to cause a sensation in the MLS. And with good reason. The Flea gave the American team the only two titles in its brief history. David Beckham is delighted. The Englishman is enjoying the star more and more.
“Leo is like a gift,” the Inter Miami co-owner began by saying in Rio Ferdinand Presents, one-on-one with the former Manchester United centre-back. “I can’t believe I have a player like that, I still get emotional when I see him play for my team.
I wanted to do something for the USA , because he has given me so much. Bringing Leo to inspire the next generation of players in the country was what I wanted to do.”
Beckham then moved on to a more intimate level and talked about Lionel’s influence within the team and at the club: “Leo is good at teaching the younger ones, the boys in the academy.
He has attitudes that we would expect from a young boy, but he still does it at his age. If I describe him in one word, it’s ‘a winner’. Not just because of what he won, but because he wants more.”
To sum up Messi, David commented: “When he is injured, he accompanies the team to every game, he is there. He doesn’t need to be in every game, and he does that. That is the kind of person and player he is. It is incredible to watch.”
