Miami International will host Tigers at home in the quarter-finals of the League Cup on Thursday morning. At a press conference before this game, Miami International coach Mascherano talked about Messi's physical condition and the team's preparations.

About Messi

Messi did not participate in the team training but trained alone. In the last game, he felt a little uncomfortable after 45 minutes. We'll see how things go, but he's not left out. I can't be sure if he will be on the field, it depends on his physical condition.

About Tigers

We must remain integrity on the defensive end, rather than relying on individual players. Our goal is to be able to curb Tiger University and control the pace of the game to have a greater chance of winning.

About opponent striker Angel Correa

Angel Correa is obviously a key player who can create threats in multiple positions. We will try to limit his performance while also controlling the pace of the game.
