Canadian men’s soccer coach John Herdman says MLS stadiums will sell out as fans will want to see Messi play
Canada coach John Herdman calls Lionel Messi coming to North America an “absolute coup” for Major League Soccer.
After reports surfaced Wednesday that the move to Miami was a done deal, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas tweeted out a photo of a darkly silhouetted Messi jersey. The Argentine star then confirmed the move himself in interviews with Spanish news outlets Mundo Deportivo and Sport.“We are pleased that Lionel Messi has stated that he intends to join Inter Miami CF and Major League Soccer this summer.
The challenge for the league, he suggested, is to provide an atmosphere that will test and motivate such a star to “Bring his best version.”
