Lionel Messi might not be as happy as everyone thought.

It is clear that the arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami and Major League Soccer revolutionized the way soccer is viewed in the United States, since it is not the most popular sport. On multiple occasions, Lionel Messi has expressed how happy he is with his decision to leave Europe and move to a quieter place, but now he could have changed the situation.

This is just an example of what Messi said just a couple of months ago: “It was much easier than we thought, because we had had the experience of changing cities from Barcelona to Paris and it had been complicated. This was totally different. Today I can say that I am very happy with the decision we made, not only for the sport but for my family, for how we live day to day, for the city and the reception of the people, which was extraordinary not only in Miami but in United States in general...

However, now he has given some words that are perceived as a low blow to both Major League Soccer and Miami: "I said it several times and it is a reality - I will always try to compete to the maximum and I am the first to know when I can be there and when I can't. I am also aware that I went to a minor league, but a lot happens because of the way one faces it and competes." Here, he called MLS a minor league.

What did he say about Miami?

"For now we cannot complain about anything. Perhaps the most difficult thing to adapt to is the traffic, although in Paris it was also complicated “And then the heat and humidity of summer. Although many times being on the beach or on vacation can be pleasant, to play sports, train or play, perhaps it is too much, and that shows.”
