With confidence boosted by the victory over Nacional in Uruguay, Inter has a different face compared to the last few games. That's because now, the confidence of Roger Machado's team seems to be back, and will be put to the test this Sunday (18), at 8:30 pm, against Mirassol, in the 9th round of the Brazilian Championship. What the fans are also celebrating is the reunion with the team, which had been playing away for four games. In the summary, the three defeats, against Corinthians, Atlético Nacional and Botafogo, weighed heavily, but the triumph in Montevideo is the most recent and, at the moment, speaks louder.
With confidence boosted by the victory over Nacional in Uruguay, Inter has a different face compared to the last few games . That's because now, the confidence of Roger Machado's team seems to be back, and will be put to the test this Sunday (18), at 8:30 pm, against Mirassol, in the 9th round of the Brazilian Championship. What the fans are also celebrating is the reunion with the team, which had been playing away for four games. In the summary, the three defeats, against Corinthians, Atlético Nacional and Botafogo, weighed heavily, but the triumph in Montevideo is the most recent and, at the moment, speaks louder.
Therefore, there is an expectation of maximum strength to gain momentum in the competition . Especially because the situation is not the best. In the table, the Gauchos occupy the 13th place with nine points, two more than Vasco, which opens the Z-4 tied with Juventude, 18th place. Even so, the absences still hinder Roger's plans, who should maintain the scheme with three defensive midfielders. According to him, however, it is a formation with one defensive midfielder (Fernando) and two midfielders (Bruno Henrique and Thiago Maia).
The team returned to training this Friday at CT Parque Gigante. While the starters remained in the gym, the reserves went to the field to begin training with an eye on the São Paulo team. Even so, there is a possibility of repeating the team that won the Libertadores , with Anthoni; Aguirre, Vitão, Victor Gabriel and Bernabei; Fernando, Bruno Henrique and Thiago Maia; Alan Patrick and Wesley; Ricardo Mathias. The changes, if any, should be made to preserve some names. The tendency, however, is for this to happen on Thursday, against Maracanã, for the second leg of the 3rd phase of the Copa do Brasil. In the first leg, Inter won 1-0.
The last training session will take place this Saturday, with everyone on the pitch . In the medical department, it is still expected to take a while for the players to return. Carbonero and Borré, who are in the final stages of recovery, are expected to remain out. They are expected to be fit and have already gained some minutes to face Bahia on the 28th, in the last round of Group F of the Libertadores. Vitinho, on the other hand, is expected to be included. He is returning from a broken hand.
