a A few days before the All-Star Game for MLS players and La Liga MX stars, Intermiami head coach Javier Mascherano said he prefers not to be part of a US league team due to the many games Lionel Messi played, showing that players should rest in the middle of the regular season.
Lionel Messi is not only a great person in Miami, but a great person in MLS itself. In addition to playing in the regular season of MLS, he will also be involved in the Club World Cup, and will soon face the commitment of the Leagues Cup, a tournament in which MLS and Liga MX teams will participate. However, the Argentine star doesn’t have much time off and was selected for the All-Star Game in Austin, Texas on July 23rd, making it a dynamic “skill challenge” the day before.

Javier Mascherano knows he can give his opinion on Lionel Messi’s participation in the All-Star Game, but he knows that it’s not his decision in the end. “Players will be called, I want them to rest, but that’s not my decision. I know how important the All-Star Game is. As far as I know, there are no decisions from the club. Everything continues normally.”
After some amazing activities they’ve done over the past two months, Intermiami will face the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night. The team will step up MLS’ regular season involvement and make up for a postponed match after Intermiami finished second in the group stage and lost to Palisen Jermen after reaching the final 16 after participating in the Club World Cup.
Injuries are causing Miami
Mascano expressed concern about the number of matches after goalkeeper Oscar Ustali was forced to leave the field during the week’s match against FC Cincinnati and was replaced by Rocco Rios Novo. “I’m not an expert when it comes to injuries. Ultimately, I’m very worried as the team has spent all seasons with a lot of muscle injuries. That’s the main details of the huge amount of games we’ve allocated.”
The coach later said Ustali was injured, but he still doesn’t know how long he will take action. “The strength of the games we played in the last month and a half was very high, especially because the team is clearly getting a little bit worse with injuries,” concluded the Argentine coach.
