David Beckham immediately went to Hong Kong on the day 40,000 fans welcomed Messi

"Inter Miami's open training session with the media and fans on February 3rd became a very hot event, with more than 40,000 fans buying all their tickets just to enter the stadium to watch Messi and his teammates practice," said AS (Spain) on February 4th.

40,000 fans welcome Messi

Hong Kong fans packed the stadium to watch Messi and his teammates practice.

The event was described by David Beckham as "absolutely fantastic"

"Absolutely amazing. A sold-out stadium for just one pre-season training session for Inter Miami in Hong Kong. Thank you for your incredible support and love. See you all for the game on February 4th," David Beckham wrote in a message posted on his Instagram account.

Inter Miami will meet the Hong Kong All-Stars at 3 p.m. on February 4. This is the third match in the MLS (USA) team's Asian tour, after losing 3-4 to Saudi Arabian clubs Al Hilal and 6-0 to Al Nassr. Before that, Inter Miami also lost 1-0 to FC Dallas and only drew 0-0 with El Salvador.

"Inter Miami's poor start to the season has given the club's president, former player David Beckham, reason to worry. After visiting Korea and Thailand, David Beckham immediately went to Hong Kong to encourage Messi and his teammates. Along with the welcome of a large number of fans, it could create a change in the spirit of Inter Miami players," AS newspaper expressed.

Messi appeared more comfortable after arriving in Hong Kong

The Argentine legend could return to Inter Miami's starting lineup

According to coach Tata Martino: "Inter Miami is clearly under pressure. We have had four training matches and have not won a single one, only scoring three goals. Certainly, there will be many aspects we need to improve further. Messi is affected by injury. We will wait and see and evaluate his ability, whether Messi will be able to play for a long time on the field or the whole match."

Messi suffered an injury before the match against Al Nassr, forcing him to only play in the final minutes of the match. During the training session in Hong Kong on February 3, the Argentinean player practiced almost normally. Therefore, Messi will most likely return to the starting lineup of Inter Miami.

Fans go crazy for Messi

After the match in Hong Kong on February 4, Messi and his teammates will travel to Japan to face Vissel Kobe on February 7. They will return to the US to continue their friendly match with Newell's Old Boys (Argentina) on February 15. Messi and his teammates will play the opening match of the 2024 MLS season against Real Salt Lake at home on February 22.
