The technician of the Inter Miamithe Argentine Javier Mascheranoassured this Sunday that making the decision to leave a player like Luis Suarez “It’s not easy,” but he stressed that the Uruguayan was an “example of greatness.” Inter Miami qualified for the first time in its history to the final of the MLS Eastern Conference after beating Cincinnati 0-4 with goals from Leo Messi, Mateo Silvetti and a double from Tadeo Allende.
Mascherano decided to bet on the young Silvetti, 19, instead of Suárez, and the choice was completely correct. “It is not an easy decision to remove a player like Luis, with his career, with the importance he has. I have to say that it is admirable how he made the decision,” Mascherano said during a press conference after the game. “He has given an example of greatness on how to behave, in the face of a difficult decision that the coach makes, he has been a clear example for his teammates. Removing a player who has scored 600 goals is not easy and Luis has given a great message to everyone,” he said. Mascherano, in fact, stressed that “the game is beginning to be won” thanks to the way in which Suárez accepted the substitution.

Beyond the Uruguayan forward, Mascherano assured that his team has reached this stage of the season “in an ideal way”, despite the load of games accumulated throughout the year. “You notice it on a day-to-day basis, in the environment, with the enthusiasm you train. The players have a good time, when they have a good time you can see the good energy,” he said.
