David Beckham made sure to cherish the moment when Lionel Messi stepped through the doors of Inter Miami for the very first time over the summer. This was after Beckham had added one of the greatest soccer players in the history of the sport to his team.
In point of fact, the co-owner of Inter was so excited by the prospect of Messi entering the building that he attended at training every day at seven in the morning to witness him do exactly that in the first few weeks after he arrived.
In an interview with The Times, Beckham stated, “First and foremost, I wanted to be in before Leo to demonstrate to him that I was there and the commitment I have to the team and the club.” “However, it was also essential for me to take pleasure in this moment after all of the effort that I had put in.”
After joining with Inter Miami, David Beckham arrived at the club’s training facility around seven o’clock every morning. This is Lionel Messi.
“I wanted to see him come in, and I wanted to see him go about everything he does in such a professional manner for the purpose of serving as an example to all of the young 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren here.”
“He is a superstar, but he is the most humble individual in the world.” Also, I absolutely adore watching him work out.

In addition, Beckham referred to Messi with the phrase “superstar, but the most humble superstar” while he was not on the pitch.
“Anyone who has witnessed him in person is aware that he is unique and exceptional.” People speculated that he could require some time to adjust to the new environment. He only needed a few seconds.
When the Barcelona and Argentina great arrived in the United States in July, Messi fever completely enthralled the sport of soccer in the United States. According to sources, the demand for his Miami jerseys was so high that even Beckham himself had to wait for one in order to give it as a gift to his friends.
And the 36-year-old promptly justified the obvious hype, scoring 10 goals in his first seven games – including a stoppage-time winner on his debut – to help earn Miami’s first ever piece of silverware in the Leagues Cup.
Beckham is still trying to come to terms with the fact that Messi is only a player for Inter. He was not present for their loss to Houston Dynamo in the final of the US Open Cup, and his debut season was cut short when Tata Martino’s team could not make it to the Major League Soccer playoffs.
“I promised the fans and people of Miami that I wanted to bring some of the best players in the world,” said the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, who recently presented Lionel Messi with his ninth Balon d’Or award. “I wanted to bring some of the best international players.” “I am sure that every owner says that, but from the very beginning, he was the player I had envisioned myself bringing to Miami,” the owner said.
“I can’t believe that we have Lionel Messi in our club despite the fact that I see him in our uniform and watch him train and play,” said the player.
In addition, Beckham expressed his delight in the fact that he personally decided that Miami would play in pink, despite the fact that he had been advised against doing so.

Additionally, Beckham personally presented Messi with his eighth Ballon d’Or prize during the course of the previous month.
Due to the fact that Messi is now a member of the team, the shirt has become one of the most sought after all over the world.
But many years ago, when Beckham was planning for what he wanted Inter Miami to be – when the concept of Messi playing in Major League Soccer was a wild dream – he made the decision that his club would play in pink.
While driving around Miami, he stated, “It’s a color that appears quite frequently.” When I was in that situation, a lot of people were telling me, “Don’t go for pink.”
In fact, I was the one who suggested that it ought to be the primary hue. At least that was me. In all honesty, I am rather pleased with it. I am relieved that I was able to keep my composure and see it through.
