Undoubtedly, it was quite a wholesome moment during Lionel Messi’s presentation ceremony as an Inter Miami player. Along with him, his long-time ex-teammate Sergio Busquets was also on the pitch. Here are a few insights on how they could transform Inter Miami.

Messi and Busquets to take Inter Miami to the next level

Inter Miami is currently in a bad spot in the MLS. As per FBref, they have the worst expected goal differential per 90 minutes in the whole league. They’ve now gone without a win for ten games in a row. Undoubtedly, Messi’s playmaking ability will ramp up the rate of chances created exponentially. Sergio Busquets’ defensive qualities will help stabilize the defensive line at all times.

The addition of Tata Martino as head coach is also a plus as he’s already worked with the former FC Barcelona duo. From the looks of it, David Beckham has managed to add quality personnel to take his team to the next level. The Miami-based soccer club is targeting July 21 as a possible debut date for the Argentine World Cup winner.
