MIAMI — David Beckham and Jorge Mas were still glowing after watching Lionel Messi’s first Inter Miami open media training session Tuesday morning. The club’s co-owners, along with Mas’ brother Jose, worked tirelessly for more than three years to bring the world’s best player to their team, and like most people, they were still processing the fact that he was on the field practicing.
Afterward, in an interview with the Miami Herald, Beckham and Mas shared the latest news on upcoming signings, the possibility of playing a potential U.S. Open Cup final at Hard Rock Stadium, their expectations of Messi and adjustments he will have to make to adapt to MLS.
First the news, per Mas.
