The 'football king' Lionel Messi (38, Inter Miami) also has a social life.
The 'right foot of England' David Beckham (50) retired in 2013 after playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and LA Galaxy. In 2014, he became a co-owner of Inter Miami by purchasing $20 million (approximately 37.8 billion won) in equity.
Beckham has created the best team in America by bringing in former stars like Messi, Luis Suárez, and Jordi Alba to Inter Miami. In particular, after Messi arrived, Inter Miami became the most popular soccer team in America.
At the age of 50, Beckham often shows up at Inter Miami's training facility wearing soccer cleats and trains together. Beckham maintains a fit physique and skill that makes it hard to believe he is middle-aged.
Messi noted, 'Beckham is a great person. Sometimes he shows up at our training facility and kicks the ball with us. He still feels like a current player. Beckham still wants to hang out with us. He is humble and genuine. He also joins us off the field.'
Messi is also thriving in the United States. As soon as he arrived in the U.S., he secured the top spot in the North American Caribbean Football Federation League Cup. Inter Miami is setting attendance records in American soccer.
