Lionel Messi's English is 'good enough' to get by, says Inter Miami teammate DeAndre Yedlin

The Argentine forward will make his Inter Miami debut against Cruz Azul

DeAndre Yedlin, a fullback for Inter Miami, shared some crucial information regarding Lionel Messi as the Argentina captain signed a free-agent contract with the MLS team.

In a Leagues Cup match on Friday (July 21) against Liga MX team Cruz Azul, Messi is anticipated to make his Miami debut.

Fans have always questioned whether Messi could communicate in English during his career. The player hasn't been heard conversing in English a lot of times.

However, Yedlin affirmed that Messi's English is sufficient for him to speak with his teammates. Yedlin (via Albiceleste Talk) discussed the winner of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as follows:

"His English is enough to get by. He talks to everyone. I didn’t know Messi was in the group chat. Campana needed tickets for the event on Sunday. Messi popped in 'How many do you need though?' Straightaway like that. From there I was just like 'Woah!' You know what I mean. Like straight off the bat, they maybe know each other for three days or something. But to show that generosity is a great fresh example of how he is," Yedlin told reporters.

After spending 17 seasons with Barcelona and two with Paris Saint-Germain, where he won multiple championships and an unprecedented seven Ballon d'Or trophies, Messi joined the MLS.

Since Lionel Messi's transfer to Inter Miami, the US football industry has been hopping with anticipation for the Argentina captain to make his MLS debut. David Beckham, a club co-owner, has issued a statement on the player's debut.

At the Leagues Cup match between Miami and Cruz Azul on Friday at the DRV PNK Stadium, Lionel Messi is anticipated to participate, which will be his debut game for the MLS club.
