Mascherano: I am used to facing criticism. I have indeed lost 4 games in the last 5 games and have problems that need to be corrected.

May 13th, on the morning of May 15, Miami International will play away against the San Jose earthquake in the FA League. Miami International coach Mascherano attended the pre-match press conference and accepted an interview with the media.

Can Suarez play?

Suarez is still not on the roster.

After criticizing after losing the last round

A person must learn to face criticism. Some constructive criticisms will make you reflect, while some criticize just for the sake of criticism. As far as I'm concerned, I'm used to it.

Regarding the defensive arrangement

, we hope to use the central defender combination against New York Red Bulls.

Three Midfield Tactics

We wanted to control the game, but then adjusted because we lacked depth. In fact, in the first few minutes of the second half, we got some shots closer to the opponent's goal.

You can choose your team's style of playing, but you can't control your opponent. If they choose to pull back to defend, this is not an excuse for us to lose. We need to look for strategy changes, draw back slightly in the formation, and use the space on the wing. Defensive vigilance must be put first, and we cannot relax for a moment.

Lost in multiple recent games

I understand that after losing, I need to criticize myself and see all the shortcomings, I won't say everything is good because we don't like losing. We have lost four of the last five games and some issues need to be corrected, but we will be self-criticizing internally.

At this time, there is no better opportunity than the teams who have been together for these four or five days. We can communicate with each other, gather the team, and share rare moments of the season, which is important at some point. We still need improvement.

About the atmosphere and morale of the team

We are in a great state and very good.
