Messi’s Supermarket Trip Was Staged By Inter Miami – Alexi Lalas

Lionel Messi’s supermarket photo was staged by Inter Miami, former United States men’s national team star, Alexi Lalas has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the grocery store Messi was recently seen shopping at after his move to the MLS is actually a corporate partner with Inter Miami football club, so it was definitely planned.

Lalas, however, added that he loved every orchestrated second of it because the club seized the opportunity with a top player.

His words, “One of the things that they did was – when I say ‘did’ it’s because it was absolutely orchestrated – Messi was in his new town and what do you do when you’re in a new town? You stock the refrigerator.”

“Lo and behold, he turns up at a Publix. For those who don’t know, Publix is a ubiquitous grocery store down in that neck of the woods. And lo and behold, he is seen there with a cart full of stuff that he is going to stock in his refrigerator.”

“It takes a couple of clicks to go to the Inter Miami website and pull up their corporate partners and woah! Amazing! Publix! There it is! Brilliant, by the way. I loved every orchestrated second of it. But this is part of the give-and-take and this is part of what Messi brings to this situation.”

“You better access that and use that at every opportunity you get, with reason. And done the right way you can maximize the presence of Messi on and off the field.”
