USMNT Star Benjamín Cremaschi Voices Frustration Over Limited Role at Inter Miami
In the competitive world of Major League Soccer, young talents like Benjamín Cremaschi often face challenges in securing consistent minutes, and the Inter Miami midfielder is no exception as he navigates his position under coach Javier Mascherano.
Emerging as a key prospect for both the US national team and his club, Cremaschi has encountered ups and downs in the 2025 campaign. Despite high hopes, his involvement has been sporadic, prompting him to openly discuss his dissatisfaction and desire for more opportunities on the field.
- Featured in 20 MLS matches during the current season
- Most recent starting appearance was on July 26 versus Cincinnati
- Scored a single goal this year
Benjamín Cremaschi’s Candid Admission on Inter Miami Struggles
The young USMNT player kicked off the 2025 season for Inter Miami with ambitious goals, yet it has turned into a period marked by irregular appearances and shifting positions for this talented midfielder. At just 20 years old, he has openly shared his discontent with his limited involvement in the team.
“I’m feeling quite disheartened because I really want more game time,” Cremaschi shared with the media. “For me, reaching peak performance means getting regular minutes and building match experience. Lately, I’ve barely featured in matches, and I don’t believe it’s due to my own form.”
“I’m in good shape, and I suspect there are other factors at play, but I’ll continue pushing forward. I’m optimistic that over the next few weeks and into the month ahead, I’ll see increased action. These situations arise in football, and resilience is key to overcoming them.”
In recent outings, Cremaschi has only accumulated 55 minutes across Inter Miami’s past four games in the MLS and Leagues Cup combined. With the league’s demanding schedule in 2025, including expanded playoffs, such limited exposure could hinder his development, especially as emerging stats show midfielders with consistent playtime averaging 15% more contributions in goals and assists.
Versatile Positioning Under Javier Mascherano at Inter Miami
Under the guidance of coach Javier Mascherano, Cremaschi-a natural central midfielder-has been deployed in various spots across the field this year, from defensive wing roles to more forward-thinking positions. Although he’s demonstrated solid effort and dedication, the lack of a fixed role and sparse minutes have impacted his overall output. Opportunities might arise soon, however, with Federico Redondo’s impending transfer to Spanish side Elche potentially freeing up spots in the lineup.
Reflections on Teammate Departures and Future Prospects for Benjamín Cremaschi
Cremaschi took time to comment on the exits of teammates Drake Callender and Redondo, noting how these changes could pave the way for his own advancement.
“Drake has been an excellent colleague right from my early days in the senior squad, so I’m truly appreciative and hope he succeeds in his next chapter. This season was challenging for him due to persistent injuries and the necessary operation; I wish him a swift return to action,” he remarked.
Continuing, he said, “Fede and I shared a strong bond. Our team dynamic is outstanding, and he was always the one fostering unity. I’m thankful for his contributions to the club and send my best wishes. Spain‘s top division is an elite environment and a significant test for him-we’ll be cheering him on from afar.”
