| Gerardo Martino former coach of Mexico looks on during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group C match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico at Lusail Stadium on November 30, 2022 in Lusail City, Qatar. |
In the sizzling world of football transfers, two giants of the game, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, have shocked the global football community by making their way to Inter Miami. While some skeptics argue that these legendary players may just be looking for a sunny holiday in South Florida.
New Inter Miami manager Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino insisted Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets are joining the club to win trophies, and not for a holiday.
“Sometimes in our world you associate United States and Miami with holidays. And it’s not that. They are coming to compete,” he told a press conference on Thursday.
“They are coming from winning world titles, Spanish league titles. They are not going to relax. They will compete because it is in their blood.”
Martino takes over Miami with the club bottom of the Eastern Conference having lost their last seven games. They are ranked 27th out of the 29 clubs in MLS, but the former Mexico and Atlanta United coach said there was still the chance to salvage something from this season.
“One is to see if we can make the playoffs. Right now that seems like a stretch, but as long as we have the possibility we can’t stop trying,” he said.
“We are in a good place in the US Open Cup, and now there’s a new tournament, Leagues Cup, that we will aim for. After that, the goal is to build for 2024.”
Messi and Busquets are not coming to Inter Miami for a holiday; they are coming to conquer the football world. Their hunger for success, coupled with their unmatched skills, leadership, and global appeal, will undoubtedly elevate Inter Miami to unprecedented heights. Get ready for an unforgettable footballing journey as these legends embark on a quest for glory and cement their legacy in the world of football.
