Lionel Messi’s foray into the American football league has caused quite a stir among fans, with his presence drawing a massive amount of attention. In fact, according to David Beckham in a conversation with Pilar Perez, Messi’s presentation for Inter Miami garnered a mind-boggling 3.5 billion views. This astronomical number is a testament to the fact that the world is truly captivated by Messi and everything he does. Helwani also took notice of Messi signing and tweeted about it.
Helwani tweeted the above where he said to imagine from being a member of the MLS’s last place team, struggling to make a dent in the league. Suddenly, out of nowhere, finding training alongside none other than “GOAT” Messi himself. It’s indeed a mind-blowing thing for any player in the world. And he compared it with Michael Jordan hopping over to Spain or France to play for a struggling basketball squad back in ’99.
It’s undoubtedly surprising to see Messi joining the team unexpectedly, catching everyone off guard. However, he faces a challenging mission ahead, aiming to elevate his new team from a period of low spirits and underachievement.
The Herons are currently languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, with a winless streak of 10 games in MLS. It’s clear that there’s a lot of work to be done if Messi wants to turn things around for his struggling squad.
