On Sunday night, Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter all helped to welcome Lionel Messi to Inter Miami.
The trio were all included in a film shown at the DRV PNK Stadium on Sunday, wishing Messi luck as he joins Miami and prepares for a future in Major League Soccer.
Now, Miami has released the video of two of the greatest American athletes giving their best wishes to Messi.
‘Leo, I wanted to say congratulations on the huge move to Miami,’ Brady adds in the short clip, who is buddies with Miami co-owner David Beckham.
Beckham also enlisted the help of Steph Curry. ‘Yo, Messi,’ says the Golden State Warriors star. ‘I just want to say congratulations on the move and good luck – I know it is new beginnings,’ says Stephan Curry.
USA coach Gregg Berhalter also appeared, stating, ‘Hey Leo, this is Gregg Berhlater – I want to welcome you to Inter Miami and the United States.’
On Sunday evening, 20,000 people jammed into Miami’s stadium to welcome Messi.
The Argentina World Cup winner is slated to make his debut for the team on Friday against Cruz Azul in a League Cup fixture.
On Sunday, Messi addressed the crowd individually, saying, ‘Thank you very lot.
‘First and foremost, I want to thank the people of Miami for their kind welcome and affection. I’d want to express my gratitude for your kindness and love. This has all happened so quickly.
‘I’m delighted to be here, to be with you. I’d like to thank Jose (Mas, Miami co-owner) and David (Beckham) for their hospitality.’They are making everything simple for us, and everything has been fantastic since we came. I am eager to begin training and competing. I want to win so that the club may continue to flourish.
‘I hope you will join us as you have done since the season began. I appreciate the kind welcome from my new colleagues.
‘I am overjoyed to have picked this location and this project with my family. I have no doubt that we will have a terrific time. Thank you so much for making today possible.’
