The Argentine was hailed as a messiah, but even he could have a hard time turning over America’s worst team.
Since the official announcement of Messi’s signing by Inter Miami, the city has been waiting for his presentation. To see it live for the first time. With his colours, with his shield. His presentation would fill the stadium. Extra bleachers were placed so that everyone could fit. Everything seemed perfect, exciting. But it didn’t go as planned.
Everything had to be postponed due to the bad weather. They had to shelter from the rain. Although the fans’ desire to see it could be more. They persevered and when everything happened, the event began. More than 20,000 fans were there for him and they couldn’t miss it. For co-owner Jorge Mas, the downpour was divine: “This is holy water,” he told the audience.
The message was clear: the Messiah of Miami had arrived. The greatest player of all time plays for the worst team in MLS, something so surreal it seems impossible. A miracle based on the work of the owners. This was Beckham’s goal from the start. Since arriving at LA Galaxy with the option to buy a future franchise.
With Messi on the pitch, the Englishman was beaming, happy to have achieved it. This is how he showed it to his people: “Like all of you, I can’t wait to see Leo on the field with our colors. Ladies and gentlemen, the next chapter of our story begins here!”
But he is aware that for the Argentine to make a real sporting impact on the team comes a time of very hard work in the office. From them you can grow the league and the team. Otherwise, they miss out on a historic opportunity.
