Messi is not fluent in English and there is a language barrier from day one, but he looks at what Lionel did that shows his humility.

Lionel Messi spent almost his entire career in Spain, which is why he never had the need to learn another language besides Spanish. This was evidenced in various advertising spots or interviews in which the captain of the Argentine National Team always chose to use his native language to communicate, despite the fact that the message would probably be received by people from other countries.

Now, after his hostile time at PSG, the Rosario signed for Inter Miami, a club from the United States, but which is located in a city with a significant Latino presence. Despite this, the '10' is making an effort to be able to communicate better with his new colleagues and this is what one of the figures of the Garzas told.

In dialogue with Sky Sports, the Finnish attacker Robert Taylor revealed: “I am taking Spanish classes and Leo is taking English classes. Communication is not very good, but on the pitch it is different, in the language of football we don't necessarily have to speak the same language to play well together”.

Messi-Taylor connection excites fans

Both registered three goals and one assist in the first two games played in the Leagues Cup. But that does not stop there, against Atlanta United, the two signed a double and assisted each other, something that makes clear their good understanding in the field beyond language. Now, this Wednesday they will try to shine together again in the classic against Orlando City, for the 16th of the aforementioned contest.
