"We have played 55 games this season, which we have won, I think, 31. And the majority, we have done so with Luis Suárez on the field. To be pointing out one player or another is not my style, not my way of working and it would be disrespectful to the career of Suárez and Luis as a player,"
"I have always said the same thing, for a team like ours with the long season we knew we would have from the beginning; to be successful and reach our targets we would need every player. And I continue to think the same way. The team needs everyone to keep advancing, like a coach, I will keep taking decisions according to what I think the game needs. There are no two games alike; Cincinnati is not Nashville. They play differently."
Javier Mascherano insisted Inter Miami needs every player, including Luis Suárez, to advance in the MLS playoffs and reach the Eastern Conference final. The team won a decisive playoff game 4-0 against Nashville without Suárez while he served a one-game suspension for violent conduct. Suárez contributed 10 goals and 10 assists in 28 regular-season matches to help Inter Miami finish third in the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami will travel to TQL Stadium to face FC Cincinnati in a knockout match for a first-ever appearance in the Eastern Conference final. Mascherano emphasized adapting selections to each opponent and the long season's demands.
