Inter Miami

Inside Inter Miami: Nu Stadium is here, plus Messi scores, club picks up first wins

It’s still a relatively new Inter Miami season. And it will soon begin playing games at Nu Stadium.

The news broke on Wednesday that Inter Miami had signed a multi-year naming rights deal with Brazilian financial firm, Nu.

Inside Inter Miami’s latest episode will discuss the deal and what we know so far.

Our hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez also discuss the club’s recent victory over Orlando City as well as the triumph in a friendly against Independiente de Valle, and the way elements of that game were poorly handled.

After being embarrassed 3-0 by LAFC in the season opener, Inter Miami has bounced back strongly, and accepted an invitation to visit the White House, which was still scheduled to take place on Thursday.

Lionel Messi scored in both victories and appears to be rounding into his usual form after a slow start. We also discuss a difficult move coach Javier Mascherano made midway through the Orlando City game which turned the tide of that match.

We’ll have reaction from German Berterame, Telasco Segovia, Tadeo Allende and Mascherano before and after the victory in Orlando, and the heated taunting that went on between Orlando’s fans and even coaches and Miami’s players, including Messi.

We also go over the latest injury updates concerning key players including Luis Suarez, who did not travel to Orlando, as well as Sergio Reguilon and David Ayala, who were back at training this week. And we look ahead to the White House visit and the team’s next game Saturday at D.C. United.

Plus, we are now under 100 days until the World Cup begins. Michelle gives a quick recap of issues organizers are facing with the ongoing war in the Middle East and the cartel-related unrest in Mexico.
