Javier Mascherano emphasized that Inter Miami has no excuses for their attacking shortcomings after their heavy 4-1 loss to Minnesota United. He noted that despite the absence of a striker like Luis Suarez due to personal reasons, the team struggled to find clarity on the pitch because of a lack of space. He admitted that transition defense was an area of concern, stating that they lost duels and faced significant counter-attacks. Inter Miami hopes to correct these issues as they prepare to tackle San Jose Earthquakes next in MLS action.
"It's very hard to find clarity when there's no space. Of course, that's not an excuse - we have to work on that."
"Unfortunately, it's a tough defeat for us because, despite everything, we knew Minnesota could hurt us in this way, the way we had prepared for, and that's what worries me the most."
"We have to win our duels. We want to be the protagonists and that means taking risks [defensively], but we are losing the ball in transition and the opponent gets counters of 50 to 60 meters."
