After enjoying so many years in Barcelona, Lionel Messi and his family endured a sudden shift in environment, spending two years in France after his move to PSG. But then again, the atmosphere changed to a rather different continent as he decided to make the MLS move. Now, in a candid revelation with TIME, the skipper revealed life in the U.S. has been “pretty easy” and as of now, he and his family “can’t complain about anything.” But then he detailed the problem he was facing in Miami. “Perhaps the most difficult thing to adapt to may be the traffic, although in Paris it was also complicated”.

Evidently, Lionel Messi is trying to get used to the traffic in Florida. Additionally, he also claims the weather differs totally from that of Europe. “And then the heat and humidity in the summer. Although being on the beach or on vacation can often be pleasant, for playing sports, training or playing games, especially in the summer, perhaps it is a little too much, and that shows”. While he enjoys his time in the USA, it wasn’t the case at his previous destination, Paris Saint-Germain.
