Inside Inter Miami: Payback vs. Cincy, Suarez shines, Messi update

welcome back everybody to another episode of inside inter Miami I'm your host Andre Fernandez Deputy sports editor at the Miami heral joined once again by our inter Miami beat writer Michelle Kaufman another action-packed Jam show uh to go over to uh this week and it starts with a big payback win over Cincinnati for that inter Miami Squad they they wanted Cincinnati they got Cincinnati and you know what they beat Cincinnati we're gonna go we're gonna dive into the match and how it went well for inter Miami what worked we're going to talk about too Luis Suarez you got it he is on a roll right now to say the least voted player of the week in MLS he doesn't seem like he's 37 years old we're going to go over all of that Drake cender Michelle spoke to him uh after the game and he had his thoughts on El too on the victory over Cincinnati and what comes next for this team as they chase that MLS Cup which as we know that's the trophy that they have left well talk a little bit also about domas saves and the fact that he's got to cut down on these cards he's leading the league in yellow cards not a good thing you know Drake himself had a great game we'll go into that we'll look at the standings of course Miami leading the supporter Shield Race by an even bigger cushion now after that Cincinnati that kind of stiff armed them a little bit now have an eight-point lead and of course we'll have our weekly lonel Messi injury update with some thoughts from coach Tata Martino as well as a look ahead to Chicago and more and to start it off let's go back to that Victory Michelle that had to be sweet for this squad yeah I mean there was so much talk going into that this is the team that beat Miami six to one in July so you know or you know pretty recently they beat uh six to one which was a strange game uh when you look back at it inter Miami was missing six starters in that game and they were big starters uh key players they're all players but it w they were missing you know more than half their team uh it was a completely different situation uh at Chase Stadium this Saturday um first of all they had everybody there except Messi uh which is a big accept but the team has learned to play without him so they had pretty much everybody else there available and wow were they ready from the opening whistle I mean this team they just came out of the gate on fire they really did they were at home they wanted to avenge that 61 embarrassing game and they knew that there's a chance to clinch a playoff spot at home League's cup is over they could put that in the rear of your mirror and focus now on what's ahead and they came out like Gang Busters and in 31 seconds Luis Suarez scored the first goal in the 31st second of the game people were still like you know settling into their seats coming in from outside they had just finished the national anthem and all of a sudden what wait a minute they're they scored already they're ahead and five minutes later people weren't done people weren't done getting their out AA yet and they had even sat down yet what the heck they hadn't even sat down people there were there were still a lot of seats where people were streaming in and chitchatting and all of a sudden he scores in 31 seconds and then five minutes later scores again so two goals in the first six minutes Cincinnati was completely caught off guard at that point they're now down two Z six minutes into the game uh you know so Miami came out really strong they looked very good they were stringing really good passes together they were fast they were quick to the ball they were winning the duel everything was going really well and it actually looked like they probably were going to score more than two it looked at that point like we're looking at a route maybe it's going to be 61 in the other direction this time this is going crazy and then ww in the 42nd minute Tomas AES who like you mentioned we're going to talk a little more about it later but uh he leads the league in yellow cards he got his you know second yellow card of the game in the 42nd minute he had already had one in the 11th minute and he gets tossed out of the game so before halftime they're already down a man and they had to play down a man for about 60 Minutes of that game so they had to change into a more defensive stance and uh you know at that point in Miami teams of the past would have probably collapsed to be honest and would have given up goals but they managed to hang in there they managed to play good defense they managed to withstand whatever pressure Cincinnati put on them and and they pulled it out and they won they clinch they the first team this year you know they're the first team in the playoffs the first team with the little X next to their name and the standings uh they're in the playoffs now which is something that they you know they couldn't say last year they were second to last last year nowhere near the playoffs they're now in the playoffs at the very least it's a it might as well be a hundred years ago and it was like a different Universe it just it just does not even apply it was so different before all of this came to fruition that it's just amazing it's just amazing the way this uh the way the transformation of this team and and where they've gone from the depths that they were at to transcending Sports of how big they've put together this phenomenon that they've put together right now and and Luis Suarez is speaking of amazing I mean at 37 for him to be doing we were talking last week about is Messi breaking down physically because of the age he's at right now at this point in his career all that look at Suarez Suarez is unbelievable right now I mean this is yeah and when he came in remember that when he came in in January there were doubters and there were haters and there were people saying this guy is taking injections in his knees the guy cannot move he's hobbling around last year in Brazil he was complaining that he had to have injections before every game for the severe pain there were a lot of people saying you know this guy is he's washed up he's old his knees are not going to be able to handle it and uh the MLS is is a much more physical league as we had seen with gonzale Goin with all these guys who come and have to adjust to the new league Joseph Martinez you know everybody who's a little bit slower has trouble and there was a lot of question about whether Luis Suarez was really a a good pickup and now nobody is saying that okay the pisto he's got the Gunslinger he's got a lot of bullets left in that bag he's got a lot of you know it's unbelievable because when you watch him run he really does still kind of hobble around and he looks you know he looks like he has bad knees but when there's an opportunity to score he Sprints he makes good runs he finds himself in the right positions and then he is just a clinical finisher he is a clinical finisher and you have to ask yourself those two goals that he scored and it's no offense to anyone else this guy's one of the best you know in this era but the other guys the other forwards if they are in the same exact position they get the ball at their foot at the same exact spot do they score those two goals in six minutes or is he just that good I really think he is that good he is that good I really do yeah I do he is that good I mean like that that's the one thing that you know 37 or not you still have that you still have that it's more the durability to set you up the preparation and get and being able to to still get to the point where you can do those things but that talent that little you know intangible you have it you just have it throughout your yeah everyone was worried about his everyone was worried about his health no one was really talking about Messi you know everyone's like oh Messi Messi's going to be able to play a full season he's going to have a full preseason discussion there was no discussion about his age really Point yeah it's kind of like Tom Brady in the NFL like we until he's retired no one believed he was ever going to retire like it was just this myth this mythical figure that that you always believed was just going to be there in perpetuity and be really good and all the time and and right and and in this year right now Suarez leads the team right now Suarez has scored 18 goals overall competitions and 15 in MLS uh you know 14 or 15 in MLS he has 18 overall competitions leads the team he leads gonzal uen he already broke the team record you know with with you know eight games to go uh so and the playoffs so he's you know he's just contributing in a huge way his knees are somehow holding up whether they're sore whether they're not I don't know the guy is playing and he is still incredibly competitive a little bit too much mouth still you know he still argues with the refs a lot and you know he he gets a little bit agitated and and I'm you know he's another one who could maybe uh get too many cards one time but so far believe it or not he's not one of the top he's not one of the top players on inter Miami for for the most cards so uh he's been having an incredible season you got to give it up he was named player the week uh for the second time and uh he's he's having an amazing season he really is maybe maybe he gets a little more of that you know name respect you know kind of like when you know the bigname players don't get called on the called f as often like in basketball maybe it's a little bit of that too that does happen that does happen yeah but uh let's let's hear from as we started last week and we're going to do throughout the show you know bringing you uh clips from Michelle's interviews over at either at postgame or at practice here's let's hear from Drake calender about too himself at the beginning of feels good you know it feels good to you know have him contribute in that way you know and uh he's come into the team scored a lot of goals been a playmaker so for him to add two more goals the tal tonight as massive for us does he still surprise you I mean even at his age we've all seen what he's done in the past does he still do things that surprise you at 37 years old I mean that just shows his class and it shows you know his intelligence and how smart he is as like a player and for him to still competing at this level at his age shows just how much of a professional he is so yeah I guess yeah he's a really good player and that's what he does that's what he well I know we're going to dive into the yellow cards and thas but since we had we heard from Drake why don't we talk real quick about Drake because he is also performing really well in the and stepping up in these big games I don't think you and I both agree sometimes it's so easy to get caught up with the big Superstars that we don't realize the keeper is doing a good job too yeah and it's always the C the always seems to be the the case with goalkeepers I could never be one because they basically they get blamed when the team loses everybody's down on the keeper oh how did they you know they they let three goals in and and they blame the keeper when they miss but when they continually habitually save this team's butt where yes they won two zero but if he had not made those big saves that he made it would have been a tire it would have been a loss you know what I mean he made massive saves more than two of them so a lot of times we do take the goalkeeper for granted and it's time to show Drake calender some love on inside inter Miami Drake calender is the quiet leader of this team he is a co- captain of this team he wears a captain's armband when me when Messi's not there he's a real quiet leader of this G of this team he's one of the few guys who doesn't speak Spanish he's not in that whole Latin Squad he's the American quiet goalkeeper Zen California cool chill dude um but he is he is fierce on the field he's really quiet and softspoken and and very California when you talk to him uh he's really sweet he's he's expecting his wife's expecting a baby in a few weeks actually next week the baby is due next week I'm a little I don't know what's gonna happen if the baby comes a few days early in the game at at Chicago is on Saturday the baby is due the following week so he's right in the final I think in the 39th week or something so he's a great guy very softspoken just super duper nice guy but when he's in between though you know in that goal net he is fierce and he makes really big goals and I do think that he deserves more credit for the success of this team uh you know everybody talks about Suarez everyone talks about Messi everyone is even talking about the other younger players about Matias Rojas about Diego Gomez uh you know some of those players and obviously Alba is incredible player Sergio buset but let's not forget Drake calender the OG the only guy left standing from the first team he was here the first year he was you know one of the the draft picks he was on the second team he wasn't even playing on the first team and here he still is saving them making great plays time and again and uh he just wrote a children's book by the way with with DeAndre Yedlin they just published a children's book that was uh unveiled last week they had a little uh reading he and here and DeAndre in Cincinnati at some elementary schools so this is a guy who's successful on and off the field a really good person a leader um a role model and he he needs to get more more attention than he gets well I know what's going to happen if the baby comes early we're GNA have to have uh CJ dos Santos or somebody step in and and beat Chicago for everybody but you know congrats to Drake though on on several fronts not just the baby but his book too and great to see what's not great to see unfortunately is those all those yellow cards so let's go let's jump back on that topic real quick and and talk about uh Tomas AES how how does he cut down on this I mean this could be a pro you're right this could be something to to keep an eye on as this team now a playoff team heads closer and closer into that postseason yeah most of the stats if you look at MLS season stats team stats Miami looks fantastic okay Miami leads the league with 58 goals Miami you know so they're the top scoring team they're on top of the supporter Shield like you said they've stiff armed now Cincinnati they're eight points ahead all of this is is great the one area where they are not so great on the stat sheet is they are one among the most penalized teams in the league uh there's only four teams that have more penalties than they do so they're in fifth place in that which is not something to be proud of and Tomas sailes is one of the reasons he has 10 yellow cards and Two Reds over 22 games you know that's basically one every two games just about uh that he's getting a yellow card one every two games and twice has been ejected including the game this past weekend and tat was asked about it is this something you're concerned about and how do you correct this in a young player he's 20 years old he's one of the rising Argentine players that tat is very excited to bring in and tat was asked how do you correct that and he said look you know keep talking to him we're just gonna keep talking to him we don't want him to think we we like his temperament we like his aggressiveness we like his temperament that is what makes him such a good Defender we don't want to take that away from him Tata said when you have a player like that you don't want him to play tentative you don't want to take away his aggressiveness you don't want to take away his be his you know his personality but he said he has to just learn when and where to do this and not to foul you know so blatantly and in dangerous places and to get himself thrown out of a game and when he's already playing on a yellow if he gets a yellow early he has to be extra cautious obviously going forward uh they are working with him on this this is something he said look Tata said he is aware that that mistake he's very aware that that mistake could have cost us the game he feels terrible about it he's remorseful about it it's not that he doesn't know and he said but I as the coach I'm not here to punish him I don't want to punish him I want to teach him I want to develop him I want him to become the player that I know he can become but he does need to cut down on those mistakes and the whole team does but he in particular does too yeah I mean that's the thing it's can't be put in your team I mean they they they had the two nothing lead but we've seen we well we have literally seen not that long ago a two nothing lead disappeared in a hurry crucial game right yes cost of the trophy the other team all of a sudden scored three goals in 12 minutes and all of a lost and it lost them the trophy so you know they need to be they need to be really careful a two zero lead you you just can't playing with 10 men is very different from playing with 11 and that's why this this win over Cincinnati was extra impressive it really was not just that they went ahead two Zer in six minutes and pisto and all that but the fact that they were able to hang on the fact that they were able to hang on with only 10 men was was really really impressive for this team especially which is had trouble in the past in those situations and it goes back to our ongoing conversation about them on the defensive side too and how much that needed to get better you know 10 or 11 doesn't matter that that aspect of the team needed to get better and that showed big time in this game to shut out a team as high quality as Cincinnati especially when you know when basically you're on a you know how long was it 60 Minutes almost that they were he went out yeah he went out at the 42nd minute and then they added nine minutes they added N9 minutes the yeah 69 minutes imagine being almost 70 minutes imagine if it it was a hockey team on a penalty kill for 70 minutes forget about for 70 minutes yeah imagine the equivalent yeah or basketball game that's four on five for almost you know I mean for two-thirds of the game or more I mean it's and you're playing one of the best teams in the league one of the best offensive teams in the league on top of that yes yes so was this was a really really big win this was a very very big win for them it was I mean they already games to go and all that but this was a really critical win coming off the the disappointment of the leagues cup uh they really needed to come out and and make a big statement and I think they did I really do think they made a big statement well what did they tell Captain America get this man a shield that's the next uh that's the next thing for uh for this team they want that supporter Shield that's what the quest is now for the next eight games is stay on top of the entire league and the important thing I know we keep looking at Cincinnati and how they're eight points ahead but if you jump over and look at the Western Conference four points ahead of the Galaxy and that's big because that's now now you're more than one game more than one Victory ahead of La so that's a nice little cushion for for that part of it too assuming you know everything goes well and they do get to the final you want to have that you you want to have every type of home field you can and this team has set itself up now in a in a great spot to get that if they can pretty much manage not having any sort of major slump down the stretch yeah yeah because the home field the way it works here is the team that's the the team with the with the best record gets HomeField Advantage for every round and if they stay on top if they stay on top the only game between now and a final the or between the beginning of the playoffs and the final the only game that they would play on the road is what is the second game of the of the first round series the first round is the best two out of three so they would play the first game at home the second game on the road if there is a necessary if they need to play a third it would be at home right yeah other than that all of the games for them would be at home the quarterfinals the semi-final and the final the MLS Cup Final would be hosted in the little temporary Stadium which is hard to believe you know it's like having the Super Bowl in in this little 21,000 seat you know Lego Set uh stadium that they thrown together uh yeah I mean this Stadium feels like it was put together th those pink and gray little things you see in the back they look like little pink and gray Legos that you could just put together and imaging soccer players going like this like Lego pieces going like that with a little construction hat on um yeah so anyway uh they will get home field advantage if if they stay on top they will have HomeField Advantage for every game but one in the playoffs which is it's massive it's really massive massive yeah no it's it's a tremendous advantage to have for sure the bigger question of course we say it every week it's this week's when's Messi coming back Michelle where is the goat why don't we ask Tata and then we'll discuss let's do that let's ask tat Tata we have a question for you what is the deal what is the latest upset latest update on the goat what is the latest update on the goat lonel Messi let's hear it from tata's mouth himself so the gist of that was he's progressing no setbacks but still no real timetable no up dat as far as when exactly he may be able to return did I get that right Mich and he said yeah yeah pretty much at the beginning he said that that he's still not training with the group but he is out on the field which that is progress only been in the gym he had only been in the gym for five weeks he started with the boot for a few weeks then he was out of the boot but still only in the gym had not done any work at all on the field so what Tata said there is that he has begun training on the field with a trainer he's not training yet with the group but he's progressing at the pace that you know that they are expecting uh also he was left off the Argentina national team and I asked does that mean it's more serious than we thought he said no you know it was expected that he's not ready to play yet so it you know we knew that he wasn't going to play for Argentina because he was not yet in condition of play Then I said is there an estimate of when he will no no no there's no estimate no date yet but he said we have to see how he feels now that he's training on the field we have to see how he feels and that's how we'll know when it's time for him to return but no no set date The Return of Messi so what I would say if you were to put me in front of the microphone and ask the same question when do I think he's gonna come back uh I don't think he's gonna be back for Chicago this weekend because if he just returned to to the field with a trainer last week oneon-one he's not going to be ready by this Saturday to have gone through full training with the team contact drills and be ready to fly to Chicago and play any game what I think is there's a twoe break after the Chicago game is a FIFA break that is the break during which he was goingon to be playing for Argentina so during the there's 14 days with no games for MLS at all they are shutting down for this FIFA break on September 14th inter Miami plays at home against Philadelphia after a twoe break my guess if I had to guess is that that is the more likely time that Messi would return for that Philadelphia game that would give him seven games of the regular season to play plus the playoffs yeah and plus I G exactly and that gives them time you know for continued treatment recovery whatever and to ramp it up on the field to start getting a little bit back get get shape back get everything going get his Fitness get his Fitness back really too because he's been sheld for so long not only not only Fitness t also talked uh in another question we asked him he said the thing that you have to realize with athletes is it's not just getting him back physically it's mental you know he said part of it even though he's little messy and all that he has to get his confidence back he has to feel that he can go out there and play at full speed and that is also a mental hurdle that an an injured athlete has to get over and you see it all the time in every sport when athletes are coming off injuries they're a little bit tentative at the beginning even if their body is okay and the trainer and the medical staff is saying oh no he's totally fine we don't see anything everything is good in his mind he has to be ready and that takes some time to go out there and play some drills play some contact games play some scrimmages and then regain the confidence that you lose when you're sitting for such an extended period of time right you need you need to get the timing back with your teammates and that's going to take a while I mean I don't care how great he is there's going to be a little bit of a process there maybe for a couple games where he's going to get to get back you know in sync with his teammates and like you said mentally himself you know that first assist that first goal and then it probably will click but he has to get that to get back to himself and for everything to start clicking again with with Suarez and everybody else yeah and it's really not worth it to risk him for this Saturday and again this is not you know all the teams are good and all those things but Chicago is in 13th Place Miami's already clinched a playoffs but it doesn't mean they're just going to lay down now for the next eight games but it's not a critical game that he go and play in Chicago uh Chicago is you know has been struggling they're they're third from the end in the standings uh you know it's a game that Miami should win without lonel Messi they've already beaten Chicago once here at home you know without him so I don't remember if he was with or I think it was without him so um anyway it's a game that they can win they don't to risk him in traveling and all that stuff all the hoopla that goes into when he plays on the road too there's all of the you know thousand fans standing outside the hotel and this and that to me it makes more sense to rest him this week he can be training the next two weeks he can be training and then on September 14th Philadelphia if he feels up to it I think maybe that would be when that would be when he returns yeah and that's the beauty of having you know after this seven games left to to go through this bit of a you know obviously they're important games for seating for home field all of that but you almost have like a pseudo bit of a training period again where you can kind of ease him back into it and then knock on wood everything goes well he doesn't have any setbacks you're ready to go for the playoffs yeah would have been different if they are in seventh place and they're battling get into the playoffs and then he would feel pressure too like oh my God you know I need to get back in there to help this team get into the playoffs and if I'm not playing with what if we don't make the playoffs again and that'll be a complete disaster they're in so they're in they're in first place they're they're in a comfortable position again it doesn't mean that they can just lay down and Tata was asked actually uh somebody asked him at the press conference after the game uh so now that you're in the playoffs do you think you might rest some players do you think you might have some rotation with these games coming up and he said no as long as there are seven days between games we're going to put out our strongest team and still try to we want to stay on top we don't want to drop don't want to slip as long as there are seven games he said if there's a week where there's a midweek game on a Wednesday maybe they would make a rotation but as long as there are seven days between games he said there's no need to rest players he wants them to stay in a rhythm that they're in right now and stay on top so you know he doesn't expect to make any big changes for the Chicago game or for any of the games coming up as long as there are seven days in between they they want to stay on top right now right only way I could see that is if maybe if they you know if they run the table or close to running the table and let's say they have a match or two left and they've already clinched the supporter Shield then maybe right at that point it's means it's meaningless but um but besides that I mean uh speaking of pressure let's hear from Drake cender again about the high stakes of this Chase for the MLS Cup last one which is you guys didn't win the first two cups that you wanted to win now you have MLS Cup how much pressure do you guys feel to to win this cup because you know would it feel like a failure if your team does doesn't win MLS Cup considering all that you've done this year and been on top of the standings all year yeah I wouldn't say we feel any pressure you know I think we're just taking it game by game and you know if we just have that approach and have that mentality then you know we get too far ahead of ourselves and you know we lose focus of what our job is every single day and every single game so of course our goals are set super high and the standards are set super high and we want to win and we want to win the Eastern Conference and we want to win the MLS Cup but if we don't win the game is right in front of us and that won't happen so I think our folks is just to be grounded where we're at keep doing what we're doing for us learn from our mistakes and keep competing and staying healthy I think we'll put ourselves in a good position that I want to throw yeah I want to throw in something that Drake had said before that's not on that clip when he was talking about learning from mistakes he specifically addressed uh he didn't you know named Thomas of list by name or anything like that but he did address uh the the issue of yellow cards and of and of having to play a man down and how difficult that is and he said we have to learn from our mistakes and he said obviously when a guy gets a red card it's not intentional we are we are aggressive our team plays aggressive we have a certain style and that's how we are and we're not going to give that up but we have to make sure that we don't make mistakes going forward these mistakes we have to learn from because he said we are going into very high stakes games coming up and those kind of mistakes could could wind up hurting us a lot more than it did in this game he said we were able to win this game in spite of it but he said going forward we need to cut down on mistakes now that we're going into the most high stakes games and going into the playoffs because then it becomes critical and every mistake you're going to be playing in the playoffs against the best teams and they will take advantage of your mistakes and so he stressed uh the the importance of not making mistakes going forward yeah and you would think you know officials are not going to called just anything and especially in a huge game in a playoff game heck maybe even the championship game let's say but you don't want to have that happen I mean imagine you can't go down you can't have a a penalty a card that puts you at 10 men for 70 minutes imagine that happening in a playoff game where right against the Columbus Crew How about if it's Eastern Conference Finals by the way speaking of the crew they won the leagues cup I don't know if anyone was following the leagues cup but for the for the 15 of you no I'm just kidding uh Columbus Crew did win the leagues cup and they and they beat Lac so those are the two teams CLA those are those are 15 people clapping oh yeah yeah oh yeah I hear them there they are no um the uh lafc played Columbus Crew for those who were not paying attention Columbus Crew played alfc in the uh in the championship game and and they won and they scored two goals in the 90th minute by the way they scored they were they you know they they won in a very exciting way they they they won games at the LA they scored goals in the last minute and they won so they now uh are the defending MLS Cup champion they went to the final of the cona Champions Cup and they won the leagues cup so Columbus Crew you know that Tata has been raving about this team All Season he loves their coach Wilfred Nancy he said I had it in a g in a story the other day that he says that in his estimation the Columbus Crew plays like a team that came from another League not MLS which is a little bit of a dis of MLS it really is but he said to me the Columbus Crew is separate from the rest of the league they play like a team that came from another league and he said he gives full credit to their coach to their manager so he has the highest highest regard for that team and you have to say when you look I wanted to point out inter Miami uh inter Miami has 65 yellow cards this season which I told you ranks fifth in the league uh 65 yellow cards the Columbus Crew is the most disciplined team in the league it should be no surprise that the best team in the league is also the most disciplined team in the league 26 yellows for the whole season 26 yellow cards versus five yellow cards for that is a big gap that's a big gap 65 yellow cards 26 yellow cards so that team Tata said it the other day the Columbus Crew forget about the MLS final Miami is gonna have to face the Columbus Crew again in a playoff to even get any further and the Columbus Crew is the most disciplined team in the league they won the League's cup they are the defending MLS Cup champion they did what Miami didn't do against monter re in the conaf Champions Cup they are a very very good team and they beat lafc which is the other really good team and LA Galaxy so those other three teams are outstanding in Cincinnati and Miami that's basically the top five that you're looking at right now you you you almost have to hope that it's almost like they're going to have to play two MLS Cup caliber Championship level games to win this thing because they're going to have to face one of them whether it's Cincinnati or Columbus Columbus or well you you hope they beat each other up if they meet before they'd have to meet into Miami maybe and not have to go through both of them to get there depending on how the the the seedings fall and all of that right but them and then you'd have to go through one of the LA's theoretically to win the whole thing I mean it's LA Galaxy they're both really good LA Galaxy and lafc which is a great rivalry out there going on and those teams are outstanding out west so it is not this is not going to be a cakewalk even though Miami has has been on top All Season except maybe a onee period there were Cincinnati Lea frogged them they've been on top of the standings pretty much the whole season they have a cushion supporter Shield whatever you want to say but when it comes down to a Do or Die elimination game you

Field against Chicago um uh check it out I mean that that's you we're not hyping that game up as you said Chicago is not one of the playoff caliber teams right now but it's an important three points to pick up because if you have to stay on top like they keep saying and this team needs to be you know more disciplined and fewer cards to to get this thing done but uh a lot of interesting things to go over it and we'll do it again next week Michelle and I will be back for another episode of inside inter Miami we'll recap what happened at Chicago and how this team again proceeded without Messi uh more than likely and tried to get another three points did they get them or not and we'll we'll be back to review where they're at but for now thank you for watching as always thank you for listening
