"When I came to America and MLS 20 years ago, my dream was to win championships, help raise the game of soccer that I love so much and to build my own team. Thirteen years ago, I announced Miami was my choice. We had no name. We had no fans. We had no stadium. Today, I stand in our new home. We are champions of MLS. We have the best player in the history of the game playing in Miami. Dreams really can come true."
"Today, we're home. I think this is a personification of what's possible. I think it's an amazing stadium, an amazing environment. And listen, our goal is to lift trophies and win championships."
