Inter Miami's head coach Javier Mascherano commended Lionel Messi for his consistent excellence on the field, stating that Messi maintains a superlative level of performance even as he ages. During the preseason, Messi played 60 to 70 minutes in each match, contributing significantly before substitutions. Mascherano emphasized the importance of managing players' minutes to prevent injury after a two-month layoff, clarifying that preseason involvement doesn't predict their playing time in the regular season. The team is gearing up for four upcoming tournaments, including MLS and the Club World Cup.
I saw Leo [against Olimpia] like always. I don't know any other version of Leo that is not superlative. Years go by and he continues to surprise through his level and his desire to compete.
Obviously, as it is the preseason, we try to take care because they came two months without playing and we did not want to take any kind of risk.
It would be crazy to make them play everything, because there was no need to do it. Clearly, when things start that will change.
I think we got to the last preseason game against Orlando in the best way.
