Now he is shining, but the beginning was not easy for Lionel Messi.
Now he is shining, but the beginning was not easy for Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi is in the United States ready to continue facing new challenges and he was able to verify, after his departure from Paris Saint Germain, that soccer in the United States is not the same as he experienced it in Europe. More relaxed, Lionel enjoys his stay in Miami and having fun with his teammates, although he acknowledged that there were some unusual difficulties in his early days as an Inter Miami player.

Despite a devastating start in his first six appearances with the pink jersey in which he scored 9 goals, the Rosario star was honest and admitted that he had some difficulties in terms of adapting to the climate that reigns in Miami and also to the humidity that there is present

In a press conference prior to the final with Nashville SC, Messi confessed that it was not all rosy about his start in sports activities in Miami and told what were the difficulties he had in the first days: "He came from a month of vacations, and at first it was hard for me day to day, training sessions, games. It is very hot here at this time and there is a lot of humidity. That is sometimes noticeable, but the truth is that I was adapting and I feel very comfortable too. I think that one never stops adapting to this climate, I have spoken with colleagues who have been here for years and some still suffer from it, we learned to live with it, to deal with it in the best way".

His vision of MLS level

Messi also spoke about the soccer level of the MLS and expressed that he has to take that step that he needs to take the leap in quality and finish growing: "They can take one more step and they have to take advantage of it, because in the United States they take all the conditions so that you can see a higher level in terms of great football because of what the country is, the structure that exists and a lot of other things".
