Oh, this is just too good! Apparently, David Beckham just couldn’t resist the temptation to get in on the Lionel Messi action before the Argentine superstar joined up with his national team in Miami.
According to reports, Beckham, who is of course the co-owner of Inter Miami CF, the MLS club where Messi is rumored to be joining after the World Cup, decided to make a surprise visit to the Argentina squad’s training session.
And it seems the former England captain couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with Messi, as he was spotted conducting a rather amusing “inspection” of the Barcelona legend during the team’s warm-up drills.
The video footage shows Beckham casually strolling onto the pitch, as the Argentine players go through their paces. But when he spots Messi, he immediately zeroes in on the diminutive forward, circling him like a predator sizing up its prey.
Messi, for his part, appears to be trying his best to ignore Beckham’s playful antics, focusing intently on his stretching and exercises. But you can just imagine the grin on Beckham’s face as he examines Messi from head to toe, no doubt assessing whether the 35-year-old is in peak physical condition ahead of the World Cup.
It’s a delightfully cheeky moment that perfectly captures the playful rapport between these two global superstars. Beckham, the iconic English midfielder, and Messi, the incomparable Argentine wizard, have long been two of the most recognizable faces in the world of football.
And the fact that Beckham is now Messi’s potential future employer only adds to the intrigue and excitement surrounding this encounter. Imagine the kind of chemistry and camaraderie these two could develop if Messi does indeed make the move to Inter Miami after the World Cup.
For now, though, the focus remains firmly on the task at hand for Messi and the Argentine national team. With the World Cup just around the corner, Messi will be laser-focused on leading his country to glory and cementing his legacy as one of the all-time greats.
But you can bet that Beckham will be keeping a close eye on the proceedings, eagerly anticipating the moment when he can welcome Messi to the sunny shores of Miami and help him write the next chapter of his illustrious career.
