Lionel Messi enjoyed football again at Inter Miami and David Beckham was important for that to happen. Unlike what Nasser Al-Khelaifi did at PSG, the Briton made the captain of the Argentine National Team feel at home from the first day and supported the entire La Pulga family every time they visited the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale . Furthermore, the founder of the franchise has always spoken wonders of the top Ballon d'Or winner (7) and now he has once again shown his affection for him.
Speaking to Sky, Beckham said: “When Leo first arrived in Miami and started training, the first four or five weeks, I went to all the training sessions every morning at 7 in the morning just to watch him train, not for anything else, seeing how he prepared, what he does, just to see it, it's just different". Along the same lines, he highlighted the human quality of the man from Rosario, something that is often highlighted by all those who have the opportunity to meet him: “Messi is humble, really humble. When he first landed in Miami he went to the supermarket and people were amazed, but that's who he is, simple, a hard worker, with a wonderful family and fantastic children. He’s just a normal guy with incredible talent".
Finally, he once again discussed the qualities of the '10': “Messi is very intelligent, his brain works differently, he sees things that others don't see until five minutes later. He never gives the ball away, he works hard, he won the World Cup last year and he still has that hunger (to win) as if he were a young boy, it's incredible".
Al-Khelaifi's mistreatment with Messi at PSG
Lionel not only had a bad time in Paris because of the whistles from the ultras or the persecution of the press in that country, but also because of controversial decisions made by the president of Paris Saint-Germain. One of them was not recognizing him as world champion with a tribute, but without a doubt the worst was the sanction that was applied to him for a commercial trip to Saudi Arabia.
