Lionel Messi answers a question during a soccer press conference about joining Inter Miami: “I came here to play and continue to enjoy soccer,” he said.
Did Messi make the right decision?
For Messi, these are reminders that he made the right decision:
He could have continued his acclaimed career with another stint at Barcelona, where he rose to stardom, and he could have signed a lucrative deal to play for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but he chose the unfamiliar to travel, so he came to the United States and played soccer in the United States, and he is happy about that.
Messi said about his new club:
“Today I can tell you that I am very happy with the decision we have made”, Messi said at DRV PNK Stadium in Miami to a room full of reporters.
“From the beginning, since my arrival, it’s been a great welcome that we’ve had”, Messi said through an interpreter.
He also spoke publicly on Thursday for the first time since announcing on June 7 that he was joining Inter Miami of the NBA.
Messi’s opinion on living in America:
The 36-year-old said he was still adjusting to his new surroundings. His family lives temporarily in South Florida while they search for a permanent home. His three sons will soon start school.
He’s also still getting used to “hot and humid” Florida, but overall, the transition has been “much easier than expected” compared to his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, where he’s played the past two years.
Following by saying “My going to Paris was neither planned nor desired. I did not want to leave Barcelona, and it became difficult. But it is the opposite of what is happening to me now, thanks to God”.
