Lionel Messi’s decision to move to the MLS in the last transfer window shocked many. After all, he had an offer on the table to rejoin his boyhood club Barcelona and continue his incredible legacy. He also had a big-money deal waiting for him in the Saudi Pro League, but he was convinced to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami in the end.
The Argentine had a great start to his Inter Miami career, scoring 11 goals in his first 14 games for the club. However, injury problems ruined his season, but with the MLS season over, Lionel Messi is now working hard with his wife’s trainer to get himself fit for the new MLS season.
Lionel Messi trains with wife Antonela Roccuzzo’s trainer
Lionel Messi made an ill-advised comment on the competitiveness of the MLS, calling the league ‘minor’ last week, but his actions may show just the opposite. Messi has never been the one who partakes in rigorous training, as he believes more in eating right and doing some light workouts to stay in shape.
The World Cup winner had a disappointing end to his first MLS season with Inter Miami, with injuries hampering his early form for his new club. In an attempt to stay perfectly fit ahead of the new MLS season, Lionel Messi has recruited his wife’s personal trainer Bret Conteras, who is famous for training special areas of the body.
Messi looks to be enjoying his break from soccer following the conclusion of the MLS season, in which Inter Miami failed to reach the playoffs. A video of the workout session was posted by Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, on her Instagram, showing the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner doing some pull-ups while wearing a dip belt between his legs.
Bret Conteras has been Antonela’s personal trainer since Messi agreed to move to Inter Miami in July. Despite recent reports of infidelity between the Argentine star and his wife, they appear unfazed as they continue to find solace in each other’s companies.
When does Lionel Messi play his first match in 2024 MLS season?
It’s an exciting time for Inter Miami fans, who have everything to be happy about. Messi is committed to playing for the club; the Argentine is set to be reunited with Luis Suarez, who brings goals to the team and the team looks ready to compete with the best teams in the league next season.
It’s unclear what the new MLS schedule is like, but reports suggest that the league will release the schedule for the 2024 season later this month. The league will also reportedly kick off earlier than it did last year, but Lionel Messi could play his first game for Inter Miami in 2024 against El Salvador in a friendly match.
Despite the lack of clarity in the schedule, Inter Miami have reportedly sold out season tickets for 2024, thanks to the influential presence of Lionel Messi.
