Inter has a heavy mission in front of the Pragmatic Fluminense, in the “optimile” of the club world

The Brazilians passed the group phase without losing any game. They obtained two white draws, 0-0 with Dortmund and 0-0 with the nipples, and only won against the Koreans from Ulsan Hyundai, score 4-2. Renato Gaúcho's band finished in second place in Group F, after Borussia, and showed that he knows how to adapt his game according to the proposed goal.

122of touches in the side -by -side hats has had Inter now, but scored only five goals, with a conversion rate of 8.77%

Against the Germans, at the debut match in the competition, he almost completely blocked his opponent, not allowing the “yellow-blacks” to have any important opportunity, and against Mamelodi, in the last round, he preferred not to risk more than the case, thanking himself with an equal. Most likely, Fluminense will also bet against him on his ability to “read” the opponents' game and will try to counteract the offensive strengths of the Milanese,

The statistical data registered in the tournament by Cristi Chivu's students show what the reasons for concern could be the Fluminense dispute. Although the Inter has a constant presence in the attack, succeeding in 122 touches in the opponent in the group stage, a chapter in which only Bayern Munich is better (154), and has the fourth largest number of shots at the gate, 57, only 9 such executions have been quadrated, resulting in a number of 5 goals scored.

Thus standing things, it is expected that the match will be less spectacular. In the confrontation between the creativity of the Italians and the pragmatism of the Brazilians, the key to the meeting can be in details and any error can be fatal. And this is true for both combatants, because Fluminense is not better than the offensive force. Although he ended the group phase undecided, he scored only four goals, all in Ulsan's gate.

The vice-champion of Italy started in the tournament quite hesitant, drawing against Monterrey, 0-0. Then he went through great emotions in front of the Japanese from Urawa, who drove 1-0 from the 11th minute until the end of the confrontation. Lautaro Martinez equalized in the 78th minute, and Carboni brought victory in the 90+2 minute.

Even the last stage of the group stage was devoid of emotions. Against River Plate, the balance was kept until the 65th minute, when the Argentinians remained in numerical inferiority. Inter took advantage and seven minutes later opened the scoring through Esposito. The table closed in the 90+3 minute, through the 2-0 goal of Bastoni.

The winner of the duel between Inter and Fluminense will play in the quarterfinals with the winner of the duel between Manchester City and Hilal.
