To play as a teammate of Lionel Messi is a dream for millions of young soccer players around the world.

For the majority of them, that dream seems distant and will remain unfulfilled. But not for Noa Allen. The 22-year-old footballer, who plays for Inter Miami and the U21 national team, is a guest on a new episode of PS Blog’s “Off The Record” show and unravels the tangle of his personal and professional journey.

Talking to Maria Kouvelis, the international defender recalls his childhood, describes his relationship with Greece and his relatives’ relationship with Greek soccer and PAOK, and reveals how he came to the decision to play in the colours of the blue and white, having previously represented the United States.

Also, he talks about his special relationship with Jordi Alba, tells stories of his time with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami and expresses his love for Giorgos Karagounis.

In the special “No Filter” segment, he reveals without a filter what was the biggest shock he suffered when he came to Greece, what his hidden talent is, what was the last message he exchanged with Jordi Alba and what his feed on social media includes.

He also accepts the challenge to locate Serres on the Greek map, and sends his own message to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
