The Unexpected Journey of Lionel Messi: From Barcelona to Miami Inter
In a stunning turn of events, Lionel Messi, the renowned footballer who appeared destined to continue his career at Barcelona, has announced that he failed to reach an agreement with the Catalan club. Instead, he will be joining Miami Inter, a team owned by Englishman David Beckham.
This surprising news has garnered significant attention, leading to speculation about Messi’s future. Notably, Martin Liberman, a prominent sports journalist, claimed that “no major team wanted him.” In response, another journalist, nicknamed “El Pollo” (The Chicken), defended Messi and criticized Liberman without directly mentioning his name: “Such claims are simply unbelievable.”
“This whole situation is mind-boggling; unjust, uncommon, and unnecessary discussions about Messi. It’s simply unbelievable! But well…” said El Pollo, expressing his disbelief.
El Pollo further emphasized, “There are people out there who are insinuating that he can only go to the United States, as if he couldn’t join any other club…” Clearly, he was alluding to Liberman’s remarks.
“Messi’s decision to move to the United States is driven by his desire to have a good time, spend time with his family, and make them happy. The only thing left is to hear that Messi has no team!” El Pollo sardonically analyzed.
Liberman’s Controversial Opinion on Messi’s Arrival at Inter Miami
In contrast to the overall positive reaction to Messi’s move, Martin Liberman stated, “No major team pursued him, which makes Miami Inter an excellent destination for the twilight of his career.”
“It seems to bother some that Messi acknowledges the declining phase of his career,” Liberman argued. “Do they not understand Spanish? Decline is the natural progression for all stars. It happens to everyone – Cristiano, Messi, Benzema, Ibrahimovic. Time catches up with everyone! So, what is their anger about?“
