(VIDEO) Lionel Messi attends to see his son Thiago play with Inter Miami U-12

The Argentine player from Inter Miami was not taken into account by the coach for the club's next match against Atlanta United, this due to the decision of the coaching staff to rest the footballer after his most recent discomfort in the last FIFA Internationql Break. Now, the footballer decides to take advantage of his free time and visited his son at the Inter Miami academy, where he already had his first game.

The oldest of the children joined the Inter Miami Under 12 team a short time ago and this time La Pulga did not want to miss his presentation. Thus, some fans present were able to record and photograph the former PSG and Barcelona player drinking mate on the side of the playing field. Obviously, he was not alone, but alongside him his other sons, Mateo and Ciro, saw the actions. Furthermore, Messi was seen to be very active, even giving some indication and always supporting his son.

Now, this rearrangement of pieces occurs in another setting: Miami, with less pressures and a different lifestyle. In this context, the children of the captain of the Argentine National Team have already joined Inter Miami as youth players. Mateo, who just turned eight years old, did it first. And the news is that in the last few hours Thiago joined the Las Garzas U-12 team. The club managed by David Beckham uploaded a video with images of the 2-1 victory over Weston FC.

What does Messi say about Thiago?

“I'm not one to buy balls. Thiago doesn't like football very much. At the club they have now put together something for the little ones, let's see if he gets hooked.” That happened while he was still playing in Barcelona and, shortly after, the club set up the Barça Escola project for children between six and eight years old, where the eldest of Leo and Anto's sons finally joined. He repeated the experience in Paris, with boys his age.
