The Inter yielded the tie to the 9th of October at the premiere of the Sudamericana, this Wednesday night, in Manta, Ecuador. Colorado opened 2-0 in the early stage, but was involved in the second half and had flaws. In a press conference, coach Alexander Medina admitted that there were mismatches and justified the Market improvisation on the left side.

After 13 days of offseason in preparation for their debut in the Sudamericana, Inter again showed recurring errors in the first quarter, both in the offensive and defensive parts.

Mauricio and Wesley Moraes, with assists from Taison and hesitations from the opposing defense, scored for Inter, while Mauro da Luz, twice with a header, left everything equal. Had it not been for Daniel, the outcome could have been worse.

Medina saw an intelligent team, adapting well to the irregular field and with chances to score the third goal in the first half. At halftime, Taison left the field due to muscle discomfort and gave way to Caio Vidal. The team did not come back well and was suffocated on Ecuadorian soil.

– In the second half, there was a mismatch and we didn’t meet. The first 45 minutes were very smart on a very uneven field. We did well. We put two goals ahead and we could have done even more. In the second half, it changed. We really fell – explained Cacique Medina

Although he worked with Liziero on the left side during the training period, Medina chose to improvise defender Gabriel Mercado (1.80m) in order to physically reinforce the sector and qualify the aerial ball. The two goals conceded were over the top. The midfielder Mauro da Luz, author of both, is 1.74m.

– We worked a lot on this topic (air ball). We insist, but it happens. We need to have a better positioning in this situation. Have a good markup, rivals close by so as not to let them go up. That’s why we also seek to raise the stature with Gabriel (Mercado), through the rival’s strength. It didn’t go as we planned. We take goals for the way we work. We have to move on,” he added.

Inter sleeps in Manta and returns to Brazil this Thursday. However, the destination will not be Porto Alegre. The colorada delegation will travel directly to Belo Horizonte, where they will debut on Sunday for the Brasileirão, at 4 pm, against Atlético-MG.
