David Beckham, owner of Inter Miami, is still on cloud nine since the arrival of the Argentine world champion on the Florida coast this summer. In the Stick to Football podcast, the former Manchester United player illustrated the effect of the former Paris-SG player on the club’s young teams by passing on valuable advice.
“Bringing Leo changed everything,” confides the former Real Madrid midfielder. The young people at the academy (training center) have someone to look up to, who has done everything, won everything, and he teaches them, which is incredible. There was an interview the other day with one of the kids at the academy, who is doing well. They turned to him and asked, “What’s the best advice Leo has given you so far?” And he said, “to walk more.” He said, “Walk more because you see more,” he continued. It’s already doing good. It’s incredible.”
Lionel Messi joined Miami in July following his chaotic stint in Paris. After a fabulous start with the Florida franchise (10 goals in 7 matches and a Leagues Cup title), the Barça legend is going through a more delicate period since he missed his team’s last four matches due to muscle fatigue. . Three days before the end of the MLS season, his team is very poorly off in the race to qualify for the playoffs (Miami is penultimate in the Eastern Conference, five points behind 9th). A situation which could, perhaps, soon lead to the return of the Argentine star to his favorite club, FC Barcelona.
