Miami International coach Mascherano was invited to attend a press conference before the Club World Cup. In an interview, he expressed his great expectations for the Club World Cup. Also participating in the press conference were FIFA President Infantino and former Barcelona star Ronaldinho.

Mascherano said: "It is obvious that participating in the Club World Cup is an honor, especially today I can lead the team to participate in such an important event as the head coach of a team, and it is also a responsibility. Therefore, we will do our best to participate in this competition at the highest level."

"I think the Club World Cup is very similar to the World Cup, with a different language and culture. However, the Club World Cup will be more passionate, because for the fans, first he is a fan of the club, and then it is the country's turn. I believe that the atmosphere on the scene will be as intense as the World Cup."
