Nashville general manager, Mike Jacobs has come out to say that Lionel Messi’s arrival is tremendous for the MLS. He recently had his say ahead of their Leagues Cup final against Inter Miami, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is always good news when special players join the American league, and he expects Messi‘s presence to take the MLS to the next level.
Mike added that the attendance for the final vs Inter Miami will be a record, and that is all thanks to the Argentine.
His words, “What’s happened with the addition of Messi and obviously some other really special players is tremendous for our league, the visibility of our players, our teams.
“Nashville SC will play in front of more people than in our club’s history and that wouldn’t have happened this weekend had Messi not come to our league. So I think that’s tremendous.”
