Inter Miami Youngsters Now Have Messi To Look Up To – Beckham

Inter Miami forward, Lionel Messi has advised academy stars at the club to walk more. MUFC legend, David Beckham recently revealed that the Argentine legend is aiding collective efforts at the club, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he is grateful for Messi’s presence because now the kids at the club have someone to look up to and a footballer to emulate.

Beckham added that Messi urged the youngsters to walk more as footballers since that is how they can learn and see more about the game.

His words, “To bring in Leo has changed everything. The academy kids have someone to look up to, who has done everything, won everything, and he’s teaching them, which is amazing. There was an interview the other day with one of the academy kids, who is doing well, and they turned round to him and said, ‘what’s the best bit of advice that Leo has given you so far?’ And he said, ‘to walk more’. He said ‘to walk more because you see more’ so it’s already started with the good that he does. It’s incredible.”

On how Messi was signed, “I sneaked into Messi’s dad’s hotel about four years ago in Barcelona for a meeting with him and obviously, at that point, we weren’t ready to bring him in and he wasn’t ready to come. I turned around to his dad and said, ‘we want your son, we want him to come to Miami when he’s ready’, and if that’s a possibility. We continued the conversations, and with my partners, Jorge Mas and Jose [Mas], we just worked on it for about four years.”
