Whoever bet that Miami would be turned upside down with the arrival of Lionel Messi was wrong, and ugly. The truth is that the player found the peace he wanted so much in the city where he will live with his family from now on, to honor the number 10 of Inter Miami, David Beckham’s team.
Officially introduced to the club this Sunday (16th), at the DRV PNK Stadium, in Fort Lauderdale, the ex-Barcelona and PSG star manages to go to dinner, go to the beach, walk, all in peace. According to columnist Thales Paoliello, from the MKT Esportivo portal, Messi went with his family to PUBLIX, a supermarket similar to Pão de Açúcar, last week, and did not find it difficult to do the monthly shopping. The player did not have to stop to meet fans and even pushed his own cart.
Messi has not lost popularity. Miami doesn’t give the same importance to football as basketball does, for example. There are murals of the ace throughout the city; on the traditional Lincoln Road there are paintings with his photos for sale, paintings on sneakers (the disputed sneakers) and a few Inter Miami jerseys with the number 10 on them, as not many stores sell Inter Miami jerseys.
The star chose to revolutionize the league and have a comfortable life with his family in a tourist city that received him very well, and if he plays 1% of what he knows, he will be the best in the competition.
But that doesn’t seem to be the main reason for Messi’s arrival. Still according to the columnist, hiring the star would be a strategy to increase the visibility of Major League Soccer (MSL) in the medium term. The ace should debut this Friday (21) with the pink uniform.
