Internacional needs to find a place for midfielder Alan Patrick in the team after the tactical change by coach Paulo Pezzolano. The player lost his starting spot, but remains valued by the team. Alan Patrick is one of the main names of the team, with 23 games in the season and 5 goals and 5 assists. The change in scenario has tactical explanations and helps to understand why an important player has passed to live a more secondary role. The team had to change its profile throughout the competition, as it did not convert results. Since the match against Santos, in the 7th round, Inter tends to reinforce the defensive system and adopt a more pragmatic posture – a move that coincided with the departure of the number 10 from the starting lineup and the recovery in the table. Coach Paulo Pezzolano continues to value the player and seeks to find the best place for him in the team. – Alan Patrick was training well. I who decided to take him out. He has a lot of quality. We managed to get the ball behind the goalkeeper, even if we didn't play well. He has been working very well. He is a reference both on and off the field and deserves it – said Pezzolano after the match against Bragantino. The panorama of the first semester puts Alan Patrick as a point of uncertainty. Even if the midfielder has shown irregularity, finding a place for the number 10 is one of Pezzolano's missions for the second semester of the colorado team.
