In an interview with Goal and reported by Maxifoot on Friday, Jordi Alba talked about Lionel Messi’s brilliant start at Inter Miami.
Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami, an MLS franchise, was accompanied by a explosive start to the season for the Argentine forward. With five goals scored in just three matches, the 2022 World Cup champion seems to have found a new lease of life in his career after two rather mixed seasons at Paris Saint-Germain. According to his teammate Jordi Alba, a former player of FC Barcelona, the positive and welcoming environment of Miami played a key role in this stellar start.
“He feels supported, loved, and that’s the most important thing. He didn’t have a good time at PSG, but he has found his joy again. I repeat, going to Miami is a challenge that excites him a lot personally, and I see him very happy,” said the former Valencia player to Goal and reported by Maxifoot.
This statement by Jordi Alba underscores the crucial importance of the emotional well-being of a high-level football player. While Messi had ups and downs at PSG, his move to Miami seems to have reignited his passion for the game and provided him with an environment where he can fully express himself.
