Dream of tri Libertadores starts this Tuesday in Colombia
[ad_1]
Inter starts the fight for the third Libertadores of America title this Tuesday night (4) in Colombia. After a worrying start to the season, without even reaching the final of the Campeonato Gaúcho, Colorado will face Independiente Medellín, at 21:00, at the Atanasio Girardot stadium. In addition to the Colombians, Metropolitanos, from Venezuela and Nacional, from Uruguay, are also part of the key, and will face each other later, from 23h.
Mano Menezes’ team goes in search of victory to regain confidence after being eliminated by Caxias, at home, in the State semifinal. With the exception of left-back Renê and center forward Alemão, the coaching staff has all the players available. The big doubt remains the attacking duo, but the tendency is for the coach to keep the top scorer Pedro Henrique on the bench, and Wanderson and Luiz Adriano in the attack.
Another unknown that dragged on for a few games at Gauchão is in the midfield: Baralhas or Johnny. In the last game, against Caxias, Johnny was in the North American selection and Baralhas was chosen, leaving Matheus Dias out. Inter’s likely lineup for debut in Medellin has Keiller; Busts, Vitão, Market and Thauan Lara; Baralhas (Johnny), De Pena, Mauricio and Alan Patrick; Wanderson and Luiz Adriano.
Independiente de Medellín occupies 11th place in the Colombian Championship and is not doing a good campaign. In 11 games, there are only 13 points conquered. For the debut in the continental tournament, coach David González should not be able to count on goalkeeper Andrés Marmolejo, who was injured in the match against Tolima. His replacement should be Luis Vasquez. The Colombians can take the field with Luis Vasquez; Monroy, Moreno Córdoba, Cadavid and Londoño; Torres, Alvarado, Batalla Martínez, Cetré and Pardo; Pons.
In addition to the international competition, the CBF confirmed the dates of the national competitions. For the Copa do Brasil, Inter debuts against CSA, from Alagoas, on the 11th, at the Beira Rio stadium, for the first leg. Four days later, Colorado faces Fortaleza, in Castelão, for the first round of the Brazilian Championship. On the 23rd, he receives Flamengo for the 2nd round of the Brasileirão, and, four days later, he has the return duel against CSA, at the Rei Pelé stadium, in Maceió.
