Inter starts fighting with Caxias for a spot in the final

Inter starts this Saturday (18) the fight for a vacancy in the decision of the Campeonato Gaúcho. Without winning the competition since 2016, Mano Menezes’ team needs to pass through Caxias to reach the grand final. The first leg of the semifinal will be at 4:30 pm, at Estádio Centenário. And in this Thursday’s press conference, the coach gave indications that Luiz Adriano could be guaranteed in the Colorado attack for the weekend, leaving a vacancy between Wanderson and Pedro Henrique.
Mano showed signs that the number 9 will start playing, resuming the model that was used last season. “Now we have the opportunity to return to what we were doing last year. It was our best structure. The Coach.
About the other player in the attack, Mano spoke about the choice between Pedro Henrique and Wanderson. “Things have to be logical, it’s even difficult to be coherent in football sometimes. We had a team structure last year and at the beginning of this year we opted for a modification, which we found solutions”, he explained.
Specifically about PH, Mano was direct: “I prefer Pedro Henrique more on the side, which is his function. He did very well in the more centralized position, but he performs better on the right or left”, he argued. Who went back to training normally with the group was goalkeeper Keiller and defensive midfielder Baralhas.
Another doubt was also explored by Mano in the interview. The coach spoke about the characteristics of two midfield players, who could fight for a place in the team. “Matheus Dias is different from Jhonny, we lost Gabriel and he did the role of first, but performs more as second. Matheus Dias has more reading of the game. If I have to choose, I will respect the technical quality”.
From Mano’s words and returns, the lineup should be with Keiller; Busts, Vitão, Market and Renê; Johnny (Matheus Dias), Carlos de Pena, Mauricio, Alan Patrick and Pedro Henrique (Wanderson); Luiz Adriano.
