Inter have a decision for the Libertadores after drawing a duel with Botafogo

Inter raffled off the game against Botafogo and paid the price . Coach Roger Machado did not shy away from his responsibility and admitted that the focus is on Thursday's decision (15). Everything depends on Nacional, in the 5th round of Group F of the Libertadores, which is tight and promises excitement until the end. To this end, Colorado is back in Porto Alegre and begins preparations this Tuesday, at CT Parque Gigante, for the fourth and final match of the sequence away from home.

The goal is to reverse the losing streak. Away from Beira-Rio, they have suffered three in a row, against Corinthians, Atlético Nacional and Botafogo. They have conceded eleven goals and scored only three. Now, in Uruguay, the Gauchos need at least a draw to continue depending only on themselves to advance to the round of 16. A win is, obviously, the best scenario, but the current phase indicates that a point in the suitcase is the most plausible.

With most of the starters rested against the Rio de Janeiro club, Roger is fully prepared to go to Montevideo . Even so, the absences play against him and the coach needs to reinvent his team after the formation with three defensive midfielders did not work. In attack, he will continue without Borré, Valencia and Vitinho, while Carbonero is doubtful. Therefore, there is a doubt between keeping Thiago Maia and Bruno Henrique together with the untouchable Fernando, or taking out one of the midfielders to bet on a winger, like Bruno Tabata. The preparation will continue until Wednesday, when the lineup will be defined.
