Wayne Rooney, the head coach of D.C. United, thinks Lionel Messi joining Inter Miami is a tremendous win for Major League Soccer.
Wayne Rooney, the head coach of D.C. United, is one of many people who are thrilled about Lionel Messi joining Major League Soccer.
Rooney claimed the move is a significant victory for Major League Soccer after Messi revealed on Wednesday that he would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain and joining Inter Miami CF.
Rooney remarked on Thursday, "I think it's great, to bring Messi into the league." "Over the years, we have all witnessed the effects of the additions of (former Los Angeles Galaxy striker) Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) and (Inter Miami co-owner) David Beckham.
different international athletes. To bring in Messi, probably the best player of all time, who recently won the World Cup practically all by himself despite his advanced age.
It will be fantastic for Miami and the league.
Messi, 35, is anticipated to make his MLS debut in July, and on July 8, D.C. will host Inter Miami.
For the sake of the D.C. audience to see him up close and for us to test our mettle against him, it'd be wonderful if we were his first opponents, Rooney said.
"One thing I'll say is that he won't find it simple. He won't likely come over here and completely destroy the league because it's a tough one.
It will not be an easy voyage for him because he will need to adapt because it is a little different.
Last year in Qatar, Messi led Argentina to their first World Cup victory since 1986, and the legendary Barcelona player has a record seven Ballon d'Or victories.
He is superior. That's all," Rooney added. He's the greatest player to ever play the game, in my opinion. That is what makes him unique.
"The fan base around him will be enormous, both commercially and for the league, I'm sure. It is significant for MLS. Messi's arrival here proves that Major League Soccer can compete. I know that the league has always brought players in.
