Israeli Soccer Player Idan Zaltser Zevida Joins Lionel Messi at Inter Miami
Israeli soccer player Idan Zaltser Zevida has officially signed a short-term contract with Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, moving up from the team's reserve squad to the senior roster. He will now play alongside global soccer superstar Lionel Messi and other notable players like Luis Suárez, Casemiro, and Rodrigo De Paul.
Zevida, who initially signed with Inter Miami in February, had previously trained with Messi multiple times, fulfilling a dream for many aspiring footballers. At that time, he was still part of the club's reserve team. The recent announcement marks the full realization of his ambition to join the main squad.
In a February interview, Zevida described his experience training with Messi as "crazy" and "a dream," recalling watching Messi's clips as a child. He noted Messi's humble demeanor, stating that Messi trains like any other team member and doesn't consider himself superior, allowing others to idolize him.
Zevida's promotion highlights a significant step in his career, moving from the reserve team to the first team of a prominent MLS club alongside world-class talent.
