Inside Inter Miami: Icon meets icon, new jersey, new sponsor and on to Saudi Arabia
The icon of futbol, Lionel Messi, met the Icon of the Seas this week.
Lasers, music and all kinds of spectacle ensued, including a look at a new Royal Caribbean-sponsored kit Inter Miami will be wearing this season.
And this isn’t even the halfway point of Inter Miami’s surreal preseason world tour.
Inside Inter Miami’s hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez dive into this and more on our latest episode.
Kaufman tells the story of her experience aboard the cruise ship with the team this past Tuesday and what this partnership means for the club.
▪ We also dive in to the two-match scoring drought so far for Inter Miami. Is it something to be concerned about or is it just a byproduct of the team’s new players like Luis Suarez and Julian Gressel still getting acclimated?
▪ Kaufman and Fernandez look ahead to the most anticipated leg of this preseason tour as Inter Miami embarks on a two-match trip to Saudi Arabia. But will there be no Cristiano Ronaldo due to injury at soccer’s “Last Dance?”
▪ Kaufman and Fernandez also talk about Inter Miami’s most recent acquisition of center back Nico Freire and how he should help fill the void left by Kamal Miller.
▪ And we’ll look at potential roster moves Inter Miami coach Tata Martino could make in light of the unfortunate loss of Facundo Farias for the rest of the season as well as the absences of other key players potentially heading into the season.
