Follow usGareth Bale has expressed his support for Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami, stating that the 35-year-old will find a much more relaxed atmosphere.
Bale spent a couple of month in the MLS, playing for LAFC and having a key role in their MLS Cup success after scoring a dramatic last minute header against Philadelphia Union.
Messi will join the League over the summer in move that is expected to skyrocket American’s soccer reputation.
Speaking to BT sport, Bale said:
‘It is a lot more chilled (in MLS). If you lose at Real Madrid, it is like the world has ended.’
‘You are crucified. You feel down. You go home and you’re not happy.’
‘They accept losing a bit more (in America). There is no consequence. You can’t get relegated over there.
‘When you lose a game you go on to the next one. They accept losing a lot better over there.’
Messi is expected to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract with Miami in multi-million deal.
