For many years, we have always shown interest in Messi in any event, to let him know that we are always waiting,” David Beckham shared.

So then, 4 or 5 a.m. in Japan, I’m lying in bed and my phone keeps ringing, buzzing, buzzing… Then I see, “Messi has decided to go to Miami”. Even now when I remember that feeling, I still get goosebumps. At that time, I sat up in bed and started crying,” David Beckham expressed.
