Coach Mascherano hopes Messi will return on time
Inter Miami have had a very poor run of 5 recent matches in all competitions, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 3. Messi has not directly scored or assisted in any of the recent matches. This is part of the reason why the team has declined, lost the chance to reach the CONCACAF Champions Cup final and dropped to 5th place in the MLS (American professional soccer league) Eastern Conference standings.

Coach Mascherano has admitted Inter Miami's dependence on Messi. He said: "Every team has depended on Messi. Pep Guardiola's Barcelona depended for many years, Luis Enrique's Barcelona, Valverde's Barcelona and the Argentina national team for 15 or 20 years have all depended on Messi. In other words, when you have a player like Messi, you obviously develop a dependence on him. It's impossible not to depend on him."
Also according to coach Mascherano: "Of course, Messi alone cannot do everything. He always needs the support of his teammates. But there are days when the team can help him more and other days when the team helps him less.
We had a very good start to the season, everyone was very happy and cheerful. However, after the recent shock, everything was judged to be bad. I am not too excited or depressed. We still have a long way to go and many other tournaments to conquer the championship."
According to journalist Jose Armando of Deporte Total USA : "Inter Miami needs to win again against New York Red Bulls to restart their excitement. In the short term, they need to improve their position in MLS to aim to defend the Supporters' Shield title and compete for the MLS Cup championship at the end of the year".

The upcoming MLS results will also put a lot of pressure on coach Mascherano as he is forced to help Inter Miami get back on track, amid suggestions that he will be fired due to recent poor performance.
Messi, a close friend of coach Mascherano, is the greatest hope to help this coach overcome the current storm.
Inter Miami gives up negotiating rights for De Bruyne

Thanks to that, "Man City" temporarily rose to 3rd place and secured the opportunity to be in the top 5 to win a ticket to the Champions League. De Bruyne will have his farewell match with Man City at the end of the season (May 25) at home at Etihad Stadium.
In response to rumors of joining Chicago Fire, De Bruyne neither denied nor confirmed. He said: "I still don't know exactly about my future even though I'm still playing here (Premier League)."
