The presentation of Lionel Messi to the spectators of Inter Miami was disrupted by the weather…
Lionel Messi has started his new life. Landed during the week in Florida, the Argentinian was presented to the supporters of his new club, Inter Miami, this Sunday. A presentation delayed due to bad weather. Pouring rain and thunder forced the leaders of the Florida franchise to delay the presentation for an hour.
The supporters were nevertheless present en masse in the Drive Pink Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, where Inter Miami plays while awaiting the construction of its new stadium. Provisional grandstands had been set up and just over 20,000 spectators had gathered to watch the event. Greeted by thunderous applause, the former Barcelonan presented his new jersey, number 10 flock and addressed a few words to the public.
“I am very happy to have chosen to come and play in this city, with my family, to have chosen this project, and I have no doubt that we are going to have a lot of fun, that we are going to have good moments, and that very beautiful things are going to happen »he launched, triggering an ovation under the amused gaze of David Beckham, one of the co-owners of Inter Miami.
Lionel Messi must now return to training and his first match in his new colors could be held within a fortnight.
