José Mourinho, Portuguese coach, paid tribute to Lionel Messi, praising the Argentine player. The coach's praise came after some time of observations about Messi's career in world football.
The Portuguese confessed that, despite not being a fan of the Major League Soccer (MLS), he will start following the North American championship. Mourinho's change in stance is directly due to Messi's presence in the league, where he currently plays for Inter Miami.
Mourinho publicly recognized the influence that Messi exerts on football and on the attention of viewers for the MLS. With this statement, the coach admitted that the Argentine player's impact goes beyond the expectations he had about the tournament.
