Inter Miami vs Philadelphia
Big news coming in is that Inter Miami CF coach Javier Mascherano said his brave players showed determination and fight to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat to hold on for a 3-3 draw against the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park on Saturday.
After losing 5 out of 7 matches in a row, now in this match Lionel Messi scored a goal from a free kick and bravely took the match to the end and brought his team ahead and showed his bravery.
We demonstrated personality and character, in my opinion. “We had another tough start to the game because we gave up goals early on, and when you give up goals, you know, you start thinking you have to come back again,” Mascherano said. However, the players displayed a great deal of character. They made it clear that they wanted to fight to escape this circumstance.
“I believe we demonstrated our spirit and the need to fight.”
Miami had trouble controlling the Union early on, despite their best efforts to reverse the game’s momentum, and the home team led 2-0 at the half. At halftime, Mascherano made an effort to rally his team by telling them to put the negative outcome out of their minds and concentrate on their tactics.
“We are in a very bad position,” I informed them at halftime. “The outcome is my fault; it is my responsibility,” the statement goes, “and the only way to see the sun is to give everything and disregard the outcome. Because football is a game, they must play, and we must play,” Mascherano stated. Read more….
I told them, “Play; don’t think about the outcome.” The coach is responsible for the result; they made a mistake. However, we want to play in the opposite direction, move the ball from side to side, and keep the ball with us. This, in my opinion, is the best method to begin the game, win it, and maintain good motion. Since there is no other option, I attempt to put this into practice. We can’t worry about the outcome. We can’t worry. Playing the game is the key.
Union had a two-goal lead after Tai Baribo scored a second goal shortly after Tadeo Alende’s goal in the 60th minute marked a comeback. Messi, the captain of Miami, scored the team’s second goal with a spectacular free kick from the top of the box to keep his team in the match.
Following that, Telasco Segovia scored the game’s last goal with Messi’s help, giving the Herons the lead in stoppage time of the second half.
Mascherano, though, maintained that the team regretted Union’s third goal being disallowed for offside.
Miami’s coach stated, “We were unlucky because their third goal was obviously offside. It was extremely clear that the third goal was not onside. I’m not sure why. The VAR is where? Why were they there? since it’s extremely obvious.
“The lateral camera is very clear, but we have a tactical camera, so we can’t watch it on our tablet.”
On Wednesday night, the Herons will play their first game back at home against CF Montreal at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
