Coach Roger Machado has opted to keep the formation with three defensive midfielders for the 7pm game this Thursday (15). Inter will visit Nacional for the 5th round of Group F of the Libertadores and the coach has selected Fernando, Thiago Maia and Bruno Henrique together again. The decision is surprising. Since adopting this formation, Colorado has lost its last three games, against Corinthians, Atlético Nacional and Botafogo. It has conceded eleven goals and scored only three. The decision is justified by the absence of forwards Vitinho, Carbonero, Borré and Valencia, all injured.

The Red and Whites are lined up with Anthoni; Aguirre, Vitão, Victor Gabriel and Bernabei; Fernando, Thiago Maia, Bruno Henrique and Alan Patrick; Wesley and Ricardo Mathias. The young center forward is the new addition . He takes Lucca's place and will be the outlet along with Wesley for the counterattack. The question remains whether Roger will enter with the three defensive midfielders aligned or will opt for Fernando in a line of five defenders.
To continue depending only on itself in the last round of the tournament, against Bahia, at Beira-Rio, Inter needs at least a draw in Uruguay . A victory, however, would catapult them from 3rd place to second place in the group, with eight points. The Tricolor de Aço occupies the position, with seven, after the defeat to Atlético Nacional.
