Although the Argentine’s presence would undoubtedly boost the team, it will take more than Messi for Miami to dominate the MLS.
At Inter Miami, Wednesday was a day of celebration. Finally, after so many years, they have realized their ambition. They were chosen as Lionel Messi’s next club, perhaps the best player in the history of soccer. One of the greatest figures in the game will don the iconic pink shirt for the first time in a few weeks. Without a doubt, it’s a momentous occasion that will alter the course of Inter Miami and American soccer in general. Inter Miami, on the other hand, will undoubtedly require a change of course. Messi is entering a bit of a problem, by any standard.
Your personal level of optimism will determine how you react to that reality. A team without a head coach would be at the bottom of the standings in the pessimist’s opinion. They would see a group that is, without a doubt, the least gifted Messi has ever played with. They would see a roster that would put a lot of pressure on a 35-year-old player who, at least recently, liked to play more of a supporting role for his team.
