Inter Miami’s new coach, Gerardo Martino, has made it clear that Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets are not coming to South Florida to relax on South Beach. Instead, their move to Major League Soccer (MLS) club is driven by their desire to compete for championships.
During a press conference on June 28, 2023, Martino stressed that Messi and Busquets are not on vacation in Miami. “They are coming to compete,” he said, highlighting their winning experience and competitive spirit.
Inter Miami is currently in a difficult position, losing their last seven games and sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. However, Martino remains optimistic about the team’s prospects this season, mentioning the potential to make the playoffs and participate in the US Open Cup and Leagues Cup. He believes that with Messi on board, the MLS will experience significant growth.
Sporting Director Chris Henderson announced that the club would make changes in the coming weeks, allowing Martino and his staff to work with players in a new way. The team is inspired to work hard and improve their standings game by game.
Martino, who won the MLS Cup in 2018 with Atlanta United, understands the challenges of the North American league, including its evolution, balanced budget, and draft system. He appreciates the league’s diverse weather conditions, which require strategic thinking beyond on-field management.
Messi and Busquets’ move to Inter Miami signifies the increasing allure of the MLS. Their presence will enhance the league’s competitiveness, attract global attention, and spur further growth. The world is eagerly waiting to see the impact of these football icons on the American soccer landscape.
