Goalkeeper Drake Callender revealed about the 'Messi Effect' saying, 'We were in Alabama, getting ready for our Open Cup game against Birmingham... After that moment, I said, 'Alright guys, we have to go and win because Messi can't join a team that's not competing...' That was a big transitional moment... Everything changed.'
Messi has lifted Inter Miami from obscurity, leading them to significant achievements like the 2023 Leagues Cup trophy and a new record of 74 points in a single MLS season.
Messi's understated leadership style is impactful, as his teammates note his contagious desire for greatness and his ability to inspire through example, not loud speeches.
Drake Callender emphasized that Messi's arrival transformed the team's mentality, stating that it was a big moment that changed their organizational culture and locker room dynamic.
