Lionel Messi landed in Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday in preparation for an unveiling ceremony to be hosted by his new MLS club, Inter Miami CF, on Sunday.
Messi landed on Tuesday at Ft. Lauderdale airport in the company of his wife and children as the club also made the announcement confirming the welcome event, which has been called "The Unveil," and set to start at 6 p.m. on Sunday at the team's DRV PNK Stadium. Inter Miami season ticket holders will receive free admission.
In an interview from Argentina TV released on Tuesday, Messi said he would give his all for the flailing MLS club, which has now gone a club-record 10 straight matches without a victory following a 2-2 draw on Sunday against D.C. United.
"My mentality and my head are not going to change and I am going to try, wherever I have to be, give my best for myself and my new club, continue to perform at the highest level," Messi told the Argentina TV show, Llave a la eternidad.
