Miami's Allen defends under-fire boss Mascherano
Briefly

Inter Miami player Noah Allen has come to the defense of head coach Javier Mascherano, criticizing the unfairness of online backlash due to the team's poor performance of one win in eight games and 23 goals conceded. Allen highlighted the need for players to take accountability instead of solely blaming the coach. Mascherano acknowledged his responsibility for the team’s setbacks but aims to foster an atmosphere where players feel liberated to play freely, urging them not to inhibit themselves due to pressure. The team prepares for upcoming matches against CF Montreal and Columbus Crew.
I think the criticism [to Mascherano] is unfair. I think everyone's just gonna blame the coach or look at the coach first.
We need to play liberated, not just when we are down by two goals. We can get there from minute zero, which is the message I'm trying to give.
