The problem with Suarez joining Messi at Inter Miami (1:52)Herc Gomez likes Luis Suarez’s proposed move to Inter Miami, but feels it may pose a problem the team cannot ignore. (1:52)
When Bruno Fornaroli was 12, he made the 500-kilometer bus ride from his home in Salto to Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo, to join Nacional — one of the biggest, most prestigious soccer clubs in the country.
His parents didn’t want him to go, they said he was too young, but he was insistent; playing for Nacional, he told his father, was his dream. Soon after that ride to the capital began, Fornaroli met someone who would go on to become a long-time friend, someone also heading to Nacional after returning to Salto to see their own family, and who had somehow picked Fornaroli out as a fellow footballer and sparked up a conversation. That person was Luis Suárez, who would go on to become one of the world’s finest strikers and, as of last month, the latest player to join Major League Soccer behemoths Inter Miami CF.
