In one week of recovery, the International want to rehabilitate in Brazilian championship after the defeat in the last round. To do this, they will play in front of their fans, at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre (RS), for the fourth round. The opponent is the Atlético-GOwhich has not yet scored.
Inter started well, winning the Bahia 2-1, at home, and the Palm trees 1-0 away. In the last round, however, he was surpassed by Athletico 1-0, in Curitiba (PR). In the middle of the week, he won the first South American Cupbeating 2 to 1 Dolphin-EQU.
The big question for the coach Edward Coudet it is the physical condition of the players. As the team played on Thursday, some starters may be rested. But the tendency is for him to choose his best, at least in the physical aspect.

The good news is that midfielder Fernando, who was in the medical department, can remain available. Midfielder Gustavo Prado and striker Wesley should remain among the starters. Striker Wanderson, with an ankle injury, is only expected to return at the end of May.
Coudet valued the victory in the South American Championship and extolled its benefits. “It was a much-needed, almost unconditional victory. We needed her. I’m happy with the effort the players made and this motivates us to continue, both in the Brasileirão and in the South American tournament itself.”
Atlético-GO’s start has been very worrying with three defeats. They lost to Flamengo, 2-1, at home, and then 1-0 to Botafogo, in Rio. In the last round, they suffered expulsions and were defeated 3-0 by São Paulo in Goiânia.
Coach Jair Ventura, now under pressure, will be forced to make three changes compared to the last game. It turns out that defender Luiz Felipe is suspended, midfielder Baralhas cannot play due to his contract, as he is on loan from his rival, and midfielder Alejo Cruz will be spared.
Therefore, Adriano Martins, Rhaldney and Maguinho will be starters in their respective sectors. In defense, Adriano recovered from a head injury suffered against Flamengo on his debut and would be back in the starting lineup anyway.
Jair Ventura avoided pointing out blame for the moment and asked for focus on the next game. “I don’t work to find a villain. I’m not going to hold one player or another responsible. Neither when you lose nor when you win. What we have to do is focus on the next game and do it differently.”
