Having played for Barcelona in Spain, where he spent more than 20 years, after leaving his first training team, Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina, the “seven-time Golden Ball” has his current “residence” at the DRV PNK stadium.
As reported today by the Portuguese newspaper A Bola, a flood in Fort Lauderdale (in Florida, Miami, in the United States of America) caused a delay in the presentation of Messi and Sergio Busquets, the latter coming from the Catalan club.
With the team occupying the last place (15th) in the ranking table in the East Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS) the two players join the team that “will have to work hard to reach a 9th place to try to access the play-off” refers to the publication.
Inter Miami is 12 points away from the said access to the Play-offs.
The event took place at the DRV PNK Stadium, the team’s home, and began with speeches by the club’s owners, including David Beckham, welcoming the Argentine and featured performances by several Latin American artists.
Messi has already trained with the team and has his debut scheduled for Friday (21), as well as Busquets, against Cruz Azul of Mexico, in the League Cup, reports the newspaper A Bola.
The same publication also highlights that the Argentine will occupy the position of ‘Designated Player’ (Designated Player), with salary above the ceiling allowed by MLS.
