Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano has said that reports claiming he had a fallout with Lionel Messi are nonsense. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, their heated argument during the match against Chicago Fire was nothing more than a tactical discussion in the heat of battle, and the fallout talks are exaggerated.
Mascherano added that he has no problems with Messi, and the World Cup winner has never questioned his authority as manager.
His words, “There’s no problem with Leo. It came out in the press that he was challenging me, which is really nonsense.
We were talking about Chicago’s low block. If you look at the game, after their first two goals, they played a very low block, and there was little space to find between the lines. It was a space problem, because they had dropped back very well, and it was very difficult to find space between the lines. It was a problem that I saw and that we tried to talk about in the locker room.”
WOW.
