The surprising confession of an Inter Miami player about how the team looks at Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is already experiencing his first months with Inter Miami and could win his second official title with the club in a few hours. The Argentine forward has positioned himself in an important way as one of the greats of the moment, however, it is important to clarify that for his current teammates, Messi's figure is still immense, despite seeing him every day. This is what the player Facundo Farías confesses.

“The impetus for going to Miami was him (for Messi), to be with Leo, who undoubtedly helped in making the decision. "I'm trying to enjoy myself, with good players by my side and a great coach," said La Joya in the run-up to a new final. "The truth is that I needed a change, to leave Santa Fe. Thank God I'm fine here and enjoying myself to the fullest, in the MLS that grows more every day," continued the 21-year-old player in dialogue with the Sacá del Medio program, which is broadcast on Radio Continental (AM 590).

On the other hand, his meeting with Messi was special because it took place a few days before Inter Miami played against Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final. “I think Leo knew who he was. He is very human, he treats us like one more and he is aware of everything that happens in football. He received Toto (Avilés) and me very well. He is a very good teammate,” highlighted the Santa Fe native who has scored three goals and one assist in just seven games in the United States.

Farías' confession about Lionel Messi

For the player, having a player like Lionel Messi as a teammate is something very unthinkable even for Inter Miami players. “I took a photo with him, I had the opportunity to reach the final the day before and take a photo with the trophy and him. We are a little embarrassed to ask him for things, but I have him close because I have 11 (shirt number) and I sit next to him. I have friends who tease me about asking for something, but I tell them no,” Farias said.
