Here a tsunami struck, sweeping MLS away; Miami executive in honor
Inter Miami executive Xavier Asensi hails Lionel Messi’s impact on Major League Soccer. He said that the player’s popularity was very beneficial for the team and the league and that the player’s impact was much greater than their expectations.
He said that the merchandise including Messi’s jersey in the club stores was completely sold out and nothing was available now. Asensi, who was also Barcelona’s former sporting director, added that they could not have foreseen such a situation and had taken all measures to resolve the issue next year.
A tsunami has formed here. Inter Miami was that tsunami. It swept the entire MLS. I was at Barca for 11 years. Everything was planned a year and a half ago.
Here ‘Messimania’ was very difficult to foresee. We will receive a large volume of merchandise in October. We have made the necessary preparations worldwide for 2024,’ Asenzi said in an interview with Markak.
He added that Messi has a contract with the team until 2025 but hopes to go beyond that.
He has a contract till 2025. He is expected to be with the team for a long time. An incredible thing has happened here. Leo is much bigger than a club or a league.
A new stadium is coming up… Another World Cup is coming in 2026… 2028 Olympics are happening in Los Angeles… So many things are happening here,’ he added.
Messi, who came to American soil as a free agent from PSG, gave new life to Inter Miami. Messi taught the team to win after one defeat after another. After the arrival of Messi, Miami did not lose a single match and won the first title in their history.
Messi won the Herons’ first title by defeating Nashville in a penalty shootout in the League Cup final.
A few days ago Messi also scored a goal in the match against Y Red Bulls and started his MLS campaign with a win. Inter Miami’s next match in the MLS is on August 31. Opponents are Nashville.
