Lionel Messi gave this Thursday his first press conference since which is in Miami. He did it before Saturday’s final against Nashville in the Leagues Cup, the first final in Inter Miami’s history.
Leo spoke about many topics in a crowded press conference that had to close its doors due to a lack of seats. Leo spoke for a long quarter of an hour. He spoke the world champion; he was talking about the player who has revolutionized the MLS.
MARCA, one of the media that asked him, questioned him about the Ballon d’Or. He said this: “I think that during my career I said it many times: the Ballon d’Or is a very important award for what it means. Due to its recognition, it is one of the most beautiful awards in the world on an individual level. But I never gave it importance , between quotes, to the individual prizes.The most important were the collective prizes. I was lucky to win everything in my career, and the World Cup was what I was missing. For this reason, now, after Qatar, I am thinking much less about that award. Now I’m enjoying my moment. I’m not thinking about the Ballon d’Or. If it comes, fine; and if not, I’m satisfied to have achieved my objectives and… now I have others with this club. We came for this, to help the club win titles and on a personal level I’m also thinking about that”.
Miami Pick: “We are in the place where we want to be. I did not want to leave Barcelona, it was a decision that did not depend on me, and the change to Paris was from one day to the next. That change became complicated, but here in Miami everything is being contrary, very different”.
Successful beginnings: I arrived with great enthusiasm and to continue obtaining more results with my career. It was a surprise for those who don’t see us every day, but we prepared ourselves for that. We have grown a lot since Tata’s arrival. Happy to have qualified for ConcaChampions
