Inter Miami cf star Lionel Messi He said he saw the level of Major League football was growing, because the clubs would sign young, foreign players and said this season was its most cost -effective, but since it came to the team at the South Florida in the summer of 2023.
“It’s a very physical league, with many young players dealing with weaknesses with physical attributes,” Messi said in Interview with simply football. “It doesn’t seem to seem, but the teams are running a lot. There are many matches, especially in the last minutes with open spaces. I think it’s a league where the teams are improving.
“This season, teams have strengthened by adding many foreign players.”
Inter Miami made several signatures in front of the 2025 campaign and brought young talents from South America to strengthen the list of stars already included Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi albums and Messi.
Teams across MLS also added quality players to their lists, with San Diego fc signature Hirving Lozano, Wilfried Zaha connection Charlotte FCand Emmanuel latte lath and Miguel Almirón come Atlanta United FC.
However, Messi added that some league restrictions were a minor obstacle to growth.
“I think if the league allowed more players to bring, because there are many restrictions, they would grow much more,” Messi said.
MLS employs a breakdown system that allows up to three designated players and a strict salary limit that adds a limitation of the way sports directors and general managers approach the transmission window. MLS also does not comply with the traditional European rules in the creation of units, which eventually limits the arrival of more foreign players and the growth of the league.
The former head coach Inter Miami Gerardo Martino made a similar point when his team was excluded in the CONCACAF Concacaf Champions quarterfinals.
“Until MLS will satisfy the rules that will allow us to have larger groups of lists to cover injuries and suspension, Mexican teams will of course still have the advantage,” Martino said last year.
Yet Messi and Inter Miami found a way to constantly compete in MLS and Concacaf Champions Cup. The called herons are currently sitting on the fourth place of the Eastern Conference table and have made a club history by qualifying for the semifinals of the championships by defeat Laftc 3-2 on the aggregate in the last round.
Messi said he enjoyed time in United States As the league level increases and the herons conquer various aspects of American football.
“The truth is, I like to be here. There’s a lot of travel, although … but it’s a league you can enjoy,” he said.
