"We try to look after him as much as possible. We know that he is the kind of player who feels most comfortable when he is out on the pitch playing -- and what that does to his body."
"Clearly, he is a vital player for us if we are to achieve our objectives; quite frankly, without him, it would be impossible for us to reach the goals we have set for ourselves."
"We have to keep the lines of communication open, constantly checking in on his physical sensations and how he is feeling."
"There are only two or three weeks where we won't have a game during the week; otherwise, it will be a schedule of one match per week."
Javier Mascherano, head coach of Inter Miami CF, plans to keep Lionel Messi active in upcoming games, emphasizing his importance for team success. Mascherano noted that Messi feels best when playing and that his physical condition will be monitored closely. With limited midweek fixtures ahead, the team aims to maximize Messi's participation. Following their elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup, Inter Miami will focus on regular MLS matches, making Messi's involvement even more critical for achieving their objectives.
