Anyone who has ever set their eyes on international soccer knows about David Beckham and his vast legacy as a midfielder for Manchester United. Beckham is known for his charming personality and his unbelievable free-kick goals. Recently in an interview, Beckham was asked to share with the world thoughts on his favorite soccer player in the contemporary scene. He revealed that his current favorite had to be none other than Lionel Messi, the famous Argentine heartthrob who led Argentina to victory against France, making them the 2022 World Cup Champions. This is what Beckham had to say about Messi:
“It has to be Messi. I love Leo for many different reasons. I love him because he’s a great father, I love him because he’s a great personality, a great character, he’s a great person.”
Clearly, Beckham holds a soft spot for Messi not only for his abilities with the ball but also his character.
Thoughts On The Last World Cup Win
Beckham further elaborated on his love for Messi while mentioning the impressive way in which he led the team to become world champions. He feels that Messi wears his heart on his sleeve while tackling around with the ball on the field. His focus and precision are like no other.
“I think what everybody loves about him is the way he plays the game. He plays the game with passion, he plays the game just free.” he said. “I think that in the last World Cup, the way he played for his team and his country, winning the tournament was an incredible moment for him, and I love seeing players like that,”
Clearly, the former English soccer star looks for passion and love in players, and Messi is just one of the many who show everyone the true spirit of soccer.
Possible Links Between The PSG and Inter Miami
Beckham is the proud co-owner of the MLS Inter Miami club. The club has been adamantly trying to sign Lionel Messi to have the star player play for the team. Messi currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. However, his contract with the PSG is soon to expire, and as one may expect, a multitude of clubs are looking to sign him up. However, so far, Messi has maintained that he has not signed up with anyone, especially Inter Miami. Rumours have still surrounded the player regarding his next team. Whether or not Messi will transfer to a new club remains a mystery until his contract finally expires with Paris Saint-Germaine.
Some fans may agree that Messi might be the perfect new player for Inter Miami. He seems to be in brilliant form for someone who is in the later prime of his age group. He recently spearheaded his team to lift the world cup in Qatar. Moreover, the man has 7 Ballon D’ors to his name and refuses to give up on his insane dribbling skills. He is considered one of the greatest for a reason.
Messi’s Current Contract
As is common knowledge now, Messi’s contract with the Paris Saint-Germaine is expiring. Even though the player has adjusted well with the club, his time with them is coming to an end within a 6 month time period. The star player has played in a total of 56 games with the club and scored over 20 goals for them. Recently, the club clashed with Al Nassr in a friendly match.
This meant that two giants of the game, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, came face to face once again. The match ended in a victory for PSG at 5-4
