So literally Inter Miami is now focusing on assembling all Messi's formal team mates from both Barcelona and Argentina, lol. Does it really mean he needs his formal team mates to perform? Now I'm beginning to take the rumours of them now serious, we saw how he didn't perform even with the super team of PSG back then simply because his formal players weren't in the team, now it's getting clearer to me.

Of course any player can perform better when he is playing with his teammates that he used to play with and who understand him quickly and help him to shine.
Messi like any player, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and the others, can't show his all skills in whatever team they play with and in any league. It might work good in Barcelona, less in PSG and a little bit better in Inter Miami. I don't know what is the long term project of this team but certainly bringing all Messi friends will not work more than a year or two because, well, the age.
Last thing, Messi, in comparison with other players, has more individual skills and rely slightly less on his friends to perform and create opportunities to score.

Well if you ask me, if a player rely mostly on his other teammates to perform at the highest level, then I wouldn't say that person is the very best. If you say, Messi in comparison to other players doesn't rely on his formal teammates to perform, then can you tell me his performance after he left Barcelona for PSG? Was his performance at PSG even a quarter to what we saw at Barcelona? The answer is no
I stand to be corrected, Ronaldo so far performed in England with Manchester United, performed even better in Spain with Real Madrid. Even his performance in Juventus wasn't in the standards of the previous two, he still performed.
