The coach of Inter Miami, Javier Mascherano, They assured this Friday that they were “totally calm” that Leo Messi would renew with the team until 2028, in a press conference after Las Garzas’ 3-1 victory against Nashville in the first game of the MLS playoffs.
Although the club did not communicate the decision until this Thursday, the Argentine coach explained that everything “had been agreed upon for a while”, despite the “noise” around the Argentine star. Mascherano added that “it made sense” to sign Messi’s continuation with the team before starting the playoffs.
Regarding today’s game, the coach said that “the team was very solid defensively,” controlling the Nashville players “very well.” Mascherano praised the rival, pointing out that “he has a form and a way of playing that can do a lot of damage if you are not in a block.”
