Lionel Messi’s eldest son, Thiago, made his debut for the Inter Miami U-12 team at just 10 years old in a friendly in which they beat Weston FC 2-1 and will play in the Florida Academy League for the franchise club.
In a video posted on the social network Inter Miami you see it Thiago celebrating the victory with his teammates and with a cast on his arm, similar to the one his brother Ciro had a few weeks ago. The eldest Messi was announced in August as part of the 150 players who will make up the Florida club’s seven teams.
While his father competes in the Major League Soccer (MLS), and the following five categories -U-17, 16, 15, 14 and 13- will be part of the MLS Next Pro, Thiago’s U-12 will play in a training division of the state of Florida, since they have not yet reached the age suitable for playing in the MLS.
However, it is not the first time that the son of the best in the world has joined a football academy. During the nine years in which the Argentine captain played in Barcelona, Thiago trained with one of the categories of the Barça Escola project for boys between 6 and 8 years old, who, like the entire club, carried out the La Masía practice method. .
This event generated a great stir in the football world since the eldest son of the best footballer in the world will follow in his father’s footsteps and there is a lot of expectation for his future. Although “Leo” never pressured them to dedicate themselves to the profession, he was very happy with his decision.
