The San Jose Earthquakes head coach explained why Major League Soccer is a good fit with fellow countryman Lionel Messi, who said he would like to play in the league.
Matías Almeyda declined an offer to manage Cruz Azul and will return for his third season with the San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer. A few days ago, Lionel Messi said that he would like to play in MLS and live in the United States in the near future and Almeyda explained why the league would be a good fit for him.
“Do you know why I think it’s a good idea? Because the United States is a big country, ”Almeyda told 90min. “It has 350 million inhabitants, I think. The stars here can walk in peace down the street. Each person who wants a life can enjoy what they like and will live a different life.
“For Messi, for his children, for his wife, he can walk, ride a bicycle, he can go to the supermarket. It won’t be under that fame that makes you a slave, you know? So I think America could be a good place for him.
“I think all the players who want to live a normal life, who don’t want to get ahead of the line at the supermarket because they are famous, or you don’t want to go to the bank and get ahead of the line.
“That way, he will go back to being a normal human being. All players who want to be normal choose this place.”, Almeyda concluded during the interview with 90min.
Almeyda managed to lead San Jose Earthquake to the MLS Cup Playoffs in his second year and has decided to return for next season because he wants to win the title before his contract expires in December 2022.
