The multi-functionality of Arturo vidal is out of the question the King has been characterized by his ductility when assuming different functions on the field of play, and on his arrival Inter by Antonio Conte, a similar path is proposed.

This is how the Italian press anticipates a positional change for the Chilean ahead of Wednesday’s meeting, which will mark the debut of the Lombard side of Champions League, against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The need to score a win needs a tactical move in the coach’s eyes, after the clear defeat to AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. And that is why two changes are being made in the starting eleven.

The first will be in defense, with the departure of the criticized Aleksandar Kolarov instead of Alessandro Bastoni, who has recovered from covid-19 and is available. The other nominal change will come in the middle zone, with the entry of Stefano Sensi instead of Marcelo Brozovic.




In this way, there will be a small revolution in the core. Nicoló Barella and Arturo Vidal will go back a few meters on the court and will make up the pair of central midfielders, in a scheme where the Chilean will have the mission of balance.

The balance is an especially important matter for Inter, since they went from having the least beaten defense of the last season in Serie A, to receiving eight goals in their first four games, an atypical situation for Antonio Conte.

Where there will be no changes will be on offense. The physical complications of Alexis Sánchez at the beginning of a streak of seven games in 23 days advise caution to the Nerazzurri coach, so Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martínez will continue in the lead.

In this way, Inter will line up against the Germans with Samir Handanovic at the door; Danilo D’Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij and Bastoni on defense; Achraf Hakimi, Barella, Vidal and Iván Perisic in the midfield; Sensi in the assembly; Lukaku and Lautaro on offense.

Inter Milan appears in the preliminaries as a clear favorite to advance to the second round in Group B of the Champions League, which also includes Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk. However, a victory against Mönchengladbach will be vital.

The match is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. this Wednesday at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium and will be directed by the Dutch referee Björn Kuipers.
