Inside Inter Miami: Resurgent week for Messi, club as they prepare for Club World Cup

So much for the slump.

So much for Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano on the hot seat.

Mascherano was named MLS Coach of the Week after Inter Miami surged up to third place in the East - just one point from second place - following a pair of much-needed wins against Montreal and Columbus this past week.

Lionel Messi is happy again. Luis Suarez is scoring again.

Inter Miami is winning again.

On the latest episode of Inside Inter Miami, our hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez break down the turnaround and if it’s enough to carry them into positive results in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium when Miami takes on Egyptian side, Al Ahly, to open the tournament.

We also break down the team’s injuries, which piled up in the Montreal game.

Kaufman also talks about her recent profile on Fafa Picault, who overcame racism and other obstacles to reach this point in his career.

And we have lots of reaction and perspective from Mascherano, including a light-hearted moment after the recent victories.

It’s our 80th episode and we thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
