In front of the journalists, Messi has thanked the reception that Miami has given him in this month and a half since his arrival and has taken the opportunity to send a ‘message’ to PSG.
“From Barcelona to Paris it was difficult, but from Paris to Miami it was different… I’m happy,” said the Argentine about his adaptation to Inter Miami. Messi looks happy and all the words are to thank the city and the fans: “I am very happy with the decision we made, not only for sports. We enjoyed the experience, the city and the reception of the people. Not just in Miami, but in the United States in general.”
“Fichar for PSG was never planned. I didn’t want to leave Barcelona. It was a quick decision,” he added.
On the evolution of Inter Miami since the Argentine landed and the fact that they were already in a final despite the fact that the team in the League was not in the best shape, Leo Messi insisted that “we had prepared ourselves to compete and achieve this qualification. We saw ourselves capable. Since this competition began, we knew we were starting from scratch, with a new coach and new players like me.. We knew it was a chance to start changing things after the latest results.”
In another order of things, Messi has also been asked about the World Cup he won and about the possible eighth Ballon d’Or. On the first, he assured that “I won the most important trophy of my career”, while on the second he stated that “Winning the Ballon d’Or is very big, but I never gave it importance, in quotes. The most important thing for me were the titles at group level. I’m not thinking about the Ballon d’Or. If it arrives well and if not, nothing happens. I have met my goals that I set myself during my career and now I have other goals.”
