Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi has revealed the adaptation process he had to undergo after joining Major League Soccer (MLS), reflecting on the dramatically different levels of pressure which he was surprised to find in Florida.
Messi is a proud Rosario native but moved to Europe at the tender age of 13. After learning the ropes of competitive soccer at Barcelona, a club where success is a prerequisite rather than a target, the most decorated footballer of all time then joined perennial French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
