Lionel Messi was in charge of putting an end to all rumors about the future of his career as a professional footballer on Wednesday and in an interview with the Spanish media Mundo Deportivo and Sport, he said he will wear the shirt of Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer (MLS) of the United States.
The signing, which accelerated in recent days taking into account that the chances of arriving at Barcelona were minimal – not to say that there were no – shook the international media that replicated Lionel's information published by the media through video and text.
The most surprising reaction was from Paris, France, where the Rosario star traveled these last two years. After having announced his arrival at Inter Miami after passing through Paris Saint-Germaín, where he was criticized by the French press repeatedly and in much of his process in the capital of France, the newspaper Le Parisien announced Messi's statement, in a publication where he said that the Rosario star did notmeet expectations.
"After failing to impress in Paris, 'La Pulga' opted to continue his life as a footballer in the current colista of the Eastern Conference of the North American championship," the French newspaper published on its front page.
As for L'Equipe, which throughout Messi's stay at PSG pointed directly with low scores in the score that is customary in the newspaper, reported the news without giving a point of view and doing so in an informative way, in a text of short length.
Taking into account that Messi will arrive, along with his family, to the United States to begin a new stage, in the North American country, Inter-American generated great expectation in the sale of shirts of the institution, and the demand for tickets for the next matches. Not so in the New York Times, which after 40 minutes of the announcement that caught the attention of the whole world did not pronounce.
