Player Ian Fray reported an increased intensity in the training sessions and a noticeable change of mood in the team.

The current situation at Inter Miami

Inter Miami is currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, after 13 games with only two victories in the last seven games. The next challenge will be against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, which leads the league due to its goal difference. Messi recently expressed his frustration about the referee services and was in a game against San Jose shortly before a red card after having got into a verbal argument with the referee.
