Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez led the meeting with Inter Miami players only to Orlando Loss

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez led intermii against Orlando City after the 3-0 defeat by Inter Miami last weekend.

The embarrassing defeat against a competitor in the state in Orlando means that Miami has only won two of his last seven games, including the latest excretion in the Concacaf Champions Cup semi-final.

Miami’s defender, Ian Fray, said reporters on Friday that the training sessions had increased intensively this week. Fray, 22, revealed that the mood in the club changed significantly during the bad form of the club. Miami will travel to Philadelphia on Saturday evening to face the union.

“Obviously we had a hard series of games that we are not used to,” said Fray. “This week was the most difficult training week that we had throughout the season. The boys really got together and the intensity was high. The coaches made this change in practice, where we really work hard and the players take on the accountability to do the additional work. We are ready for this game.”

Fray was asked whether head coach Javier Mascherano warned the players this week before changing the attitude. “No, not really,” he said. “We all know that we are not in a good moment.”

“It was a productive week, but nothing more than what we did,” said Mascherano on Friday. When asked whether there was a focus on more intensity, Mascherano nodded and said: “Maybe yes.”

Fray said that Messi and Suarez gathered the players together after the loss against Orlando and demanded that “we turn things around”. “We have players here who may know how to turn around like that. It is up to us to do that,” added Fray.

Messi’s frustration has reached a break in the past few weeks.

The Argentine captain lost his cool in successive games and often aimed at referees with his anger. The 37-year-old Messi was almost sent off the pitch after the final whistle in Miamis 3: 3 automa on May 14th. Messi had a verbal examination with match referee Joe Dickerson after the game. Dickerson warned Messi to “go away” or to risk getting his second yellow.

The head coach of San Jose, Bruce Arena, happened to be in the same surroundings and gently performed Messi from the players.

“He was obviously not happy,” said Arena afterwards reporters. “And I really wanted to make sure that he would not get a red card, and that’s why I just tried to move him out of the way. Because he would get a red card at the end of the game, I just wanted to make sure that we get it out there and he is ready to play the next game for Miami.”

A week later, Miami was thoroughly exceeded and revised by Orlando City. Mascherano was unable to find the right alternatives in the game to change the club’s assets. Miami was porous and chaotic disorganized on the defensive side of the ball, which led to some simple transition targets for opponents. After the defeat in Orlando, Messi spoke to Apple TV.

“The truth is that it hurts to lose a different game,” said Messi. “We have a time with bad results, but we have to continue to work and think about what’s up to us. There are three or four other games to end the month, and we have to complete the best possible way to take over the World Cup Club World Championship.”

Then he aimed at MLS refereeing. “And there was a rare game in which one of her players left the ball back to the goalkeeper, and the referee said that he himself, he himself did not know that he didn’t believe that he didn’t understand … but something always happens with the referees and specific games.

Messi was punished by MLS in February because he had grabbed the neck of the co -coach of an opposing team. This happened after a heated 2-2 draw with NYCFC in Fort Lauderdale to start the MLS season. It was Messi’s very first fine as a MLS player. Inter Miami is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference after 13 games.

Surprisingly, Philadelphia sits at the eastern conference, which is due to the target differential. The Union and FC Cincinnati currently have 29 points.
