Suarez, the all-time scoring leader of Uruguay바카라s national team, explained in a video posted on his social media accounts that the team formerly known as Deportivo LS will now be called LSM and will start playing professional soccer in the Uruguay바카라s fourth division.
바카라Deportivo LS is a family dream that began in 2018. We have grown a lot with more than 3,000 members,바카라 Suarez said. 바카라I want to offer Uruguayan soccer, the place I love and where I grew up as a child, opportunities and tools for teenagers and children to grow.바카라
The 38-year-old Suarez retired from international soccer last September, played with Messi at Barcelona for six seasons, and they바카라ve been teammates the past two years with Inter Miami.
바카라I바카라m proud and happy that you chose me, so I hope to contribute everything I can to continue growing and, above all, to be by your side in this,바카라 said Messi, who was sitting alongside Suarez in the video.
It바카라s still unclear what Messi바카라s role will be in the project, although local media reported that he will be a partner. It was also reported that Álvaro Recoba, a former player for the Uruguay national team and Inter Milan, will be the team바카라s coach.
The announcement also launched the club바카라s Instagram account, which had over 40,000 followers two hours after its creation.
Suárez and his family opened an 20-acre sports complex in 2018 in Ciudad de la Costa on the outskirts of Montevideo. It has numerous activities for more than 3,000 members.
