On October 15th, Beijing time, the American professional football team Inter Miami officially announced that the club will play two Chinese Super League teams next month. The first game will be against Qingdao Hainiu at the Qingdao Youth Football Stadium on November 5th, and the second game will be against Chengdu Chengdu Chengdu at the Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium on November 8th. Inter Miami officially wrote: "Let's set off and go to China! In November this year, we will start our first trip to China, seeking to expand new territories and prepare for the new season in 2024!"
This means that Messi will once again start a trip to China, and Chinese fans can watch Messi's games live at home again. It is reported that information such as game broadcasts and tickets will be announced in the next few days. In June this year, Messi came to China with the Argentine national team and held a friendly match with Australia at the New Workers' Stadium. This trip to China will be Messi's second trip to China this year and will also be Messi's eighth trip to China.
Xavier Asensi, Inter Miami's chief commercial officer, said in an interview: "We are excited to continue to expand the club's global reach and bring the team to play in front of fans around the world. This is a special opportunity to share the passion, we will reach new audiences and show ourselves in new places."
This summer, Inter Miami introduced many world-class stars, including Messi, Busquets, and Alba. Especially after the introduction of Messi, the team's strength improved significantly. Although it still failed to make the playoffs in the league, with Messi's help, the team won the CONCACAF Confederation Cup and also reached the finals of the US Open Cup. Messi played 13 times at Inter Miami, starting 10 times, scoring 11 goals and contributing 5 assists. He can be regarded as the "thigh" of the team's offensive end.
