Mascherano: It is unfair to say that we rely on the referee to advance, there is no problem with Messi playing in the final

Tomorrow at 8 a.m., in the League Cup final, Miami International vs. Seattle Bayer. Before the game, Miami coach Mascherano was interviewed by the media at a press conference.

◉ About Miami winning a penalty in the semi-finals, critics believe that Miami made a profit through the referee's penalty

Mascherano said: "I can't control the comments about the referee. Both Miami and Seattle deserve to be in the finals. Against Necasa, one of our players was sent off unfairly, but the team still tied the score at the last moment. We also made a reversal against the Cougars and Orlando. Sometimes the referee helps you, sometimes they hurt you. But it would be unfair to say that we got here on the referee. We won by strength. Both teams entered the finals because they were the best."

◉ Mascherano confirmed that except for the recent injury of Allen Obando, the team can play almost all players, including Messi.

"Messi is fine. Although he missed some games, he played a decisive role again against Orlando. I am happy for him and for him to finish the game in full."

◉ Miami International and Seattle Bayers also represented the FC World Cup, and Mascherano praised his opponent.

"They are a very good team, the head coach has a long coaching experience. They have won many championships and are in good shape after the Club World Cup. The game will be very difficult, but we have the capital to compete and we will go all out to win the game."

◉ Mascherano will return to the bench after he was suspended for a red card.

"Obviously, it is better to stand on the sidelines, you can be closer to the players and give them support. Coaching means making as few mistakes as possible. I prefer to be on the sidelines rather than in the stands. Joining such a program is to win everything. We failed to reach the CCB final a few months ago, but now football has given us another chance."

◉ Mascherano admitted that due to the impact of the storm, the team's arrival at the final venue was postponed.

"We came a little later than expected, but the team is ready, and the only player absent is Allen Obando."
