Beckham shows off his technique as he watches Messi first training session
International soccer legend David Beckham was recorded playing with a ball on the side of Messi’s first practice following his shocking move to Inter Miami of Major League Soccer, and it appears he has not lost his skills just yet.
Beckham is one of the co-owners of Inter Miami and played a large role in bringing one of the sport’s greats players to MLS and potentially changing the future of soccer in America.
The World Cup champion was unveiled Sunday in a massive display that saw 20,000 fans sell out the event at DRV PNK stadium, despite torrential downpour of rain that delayed the unveiling.
Messi’s allure has also seen several big names that he crossed paths with during his career recruited to join Miami alongside him.
Jordi Alaba is set to follow Sergio Busquets to Miami’s roster and Luis Suarez is said to be another possible addition with the team ‘believing a deal will be struck shortly.’
Regardless of the big names joining the roster, Inter Miami are currently the worst team in MLS and have recorded only 18 points through 22 games thanks to a record 5-3-14 record.
The team would need around 25 points from the final 12 games of the season in order to be in genuine contention for the playoffs.
Their next competition in league play will be against Charlotte FC on August 20th, while the next two games in general will be cup matches against Cruz Azul and Atlanta FC.
Messi’s first appearance in the pink of his new team is anticipated to come on Friday night in the game against Cruz Azul.
One resale ticket was listed for an incredibly expensive $110,000 ahead of Messi’s anticipated first MLS game.
