News in the Inter Miami eleven
Regarding their last match, Inter Miami also adjusted their tactical strategy, going from a 5-3-2 system to a 4-3-3. This change seems to be related to the need to adapt to the circumstances of the previous match, where the team had a very powerful attack. On the defensive line, only Avilés and Freire repeat their position, while Kryvtsov and Alba were relegated to the substitute bench, being replaced by Ruiz and Allen. In addition, Gressel, who played as a winger in the previous match, advanced towards the attack line, accompanying Campana and Taylor, who replaced Messi, absent due to discomfort, and Suárez, who is on the bench.
