After arriving at Inter Miami and Messi has already chosen his best friend at the club, it's not Busquets

Inter Miami is preparing to debut in the Leagues Cup. The MLS team has an important game against Cruz Azul and prior to the match, unexpected news has arrived about Messi's first training sessions at the club. It turns out that despite the player's great friendship with Sergio Busquets, the Argentine has been seen very close to another player.

It is precisely another South American in the team, whom Gerardo Martino knows very well. Josef Martinez, the Venezuelan with the most goals in MLS and who was a champion alongside Tata Martino when they both coincided at Atlanta United. Now, he has been spotted extremely close to Lionel Messi in the former PSG player's first training sessions with the Florida club.

It is worth remembering that Martinez, who is 30 years old and 1.72 meters tall, speaks Spanish and knows Messi from the matches against the Argentine National Team, such as those of the South American Qualifiers or Copa America. That is why they are the teammates with whom the player has the best relationship and the most things in common of the whole squad.

Will Messi play against Cruz Azul?

At the moment, according to coach Gerardo Martino, Lionel Messi should have minutes, but it is unlikely that he will be a starter. The same is the case with Sergio Busquets. According to Martino, "both players need more training with the team". It should be remembered that the Leagues Cup is not a friendly tournament, but a competition.
