How Inter Miami Keeps Lionel Messi Safe And Why His Team-Mates Are Embracing A New Language
According to Edison Azcona, Inter Miami has decided to forbid Lionel Messi from taking part in certain training matches in order to protect him from injuries.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner joining the MLS team has everyone in awe. Messi has been a real inspiration for the team ever since he arrived in the country, and in just a few weeks, he helped them win the first League Cup in history. It hasn’t been easy, though, as a recent injury prevented him from competing in the U.S. Open Cup final and a late playoff push.
Inter Miami understands the value of protecting their prized possessions. One of the team members, Azcona, highlighted how they manage Messi in the background. Everyone knows we aren’t going to try to hurt him, he said. We defend, but cautiously, making sure he isn’t putting himself in danger during our matches.
The Inter-Miami players are preparing for Lionel Messi not just on the pitch but also off it. As Azcona stated, “I have not heard Lionel Messi speak English “. Some people are learning a new language. When he comes in, he occasionally says “Good morning,” but those who speak English but are not fluent in Spanish are learning the language. We support him among ourselves, but we are cautious. Nobody puts much effort into it.
Messi has played 14 times for Inter Miami and has already scored an impressive 11 goals. Although there have been rumors of a potential return to Barcelona, he has committed to playing in the upcoming 2024 MLS season to keep himself in peak physical condition for his on-field antics.
