What Azcona said
Messi has made an effort to acclimatise at Inter Miami, and according to Azcona, the Argentina international obliged when he was asked to sing for the squad as a form of team bonding.
“Messi sang at a dinner for us on the first trip he had with the team,” Azcona said, per Fabrizio Romano.
“DeAndre Yedlin and Victor Ulloa were in charge of encouraging him. They were saying they had to sing and joking. First, Jordi went to sing, Busquets also and then Leo went last.
I haven't heard Leo speak English... Sometimes, he says 'Good morning' when he arrives, but those who speak English and don't know Spanish are learning to speak Spanish.”
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has penned down a heartfelt review of Inter Miami’s season on his social media, saying he is proud of the team and what they have accomplished, as well as promising many more to come.
