OnSide, Inter Miami’s own news show, returns today at 12 p.m. ET. Hosts Kaylyn Kyle and Andres Cordero were joined by Head Coach Diego Alonso for a special in-person, socially distanced interview at Inter Miami CF Training Center. The Uruguayan coach took the opportunity to highlight what awaits the team in the MLS is Back Tournament beginning with the July 8 match against Orlando City SC and offer updates on the state of the team.
“The team is very excited about what is coming, with the preparation of the tournament in Orlando,” said Alonso. “We’re really looking forward to competing again, to being back on the field playing for points.”
“We have to go looking for points in the group stage games to give ourselves the possibility of gradually adding them up and bringing ourselves closer to the ultimate goal of qualifying for the playoffs.”
Alonso also shared his feelings on how the team has fared in training and how it may translate to the field in Orlando. He emphasized the importance of practicing game situations and specific work in conjunction with the physical aspect of training.
“I always say the same thing, there was never a pianist who warmed up by running around the piano. They warm up with hand and finger exercises and prepare mentally and physically to play the piano. With soccer players it’s exactly the same.”
OnSide will air live in the Inter Miami app today at 12 p.m. ET and be available following its completion through video on demand both in the app and on Inter Miami’s website, as well as the Club’s official YouTube page.
