Brazilian Wingbacks Impress In Inter Milan 1-1 FIFA Club World Cup Draw Vs Monterrey | OneFootball

Carlos Augusto and Luis Henrique emerged as Inter Milan’s brightest performers in last night’s stalemate against CF Monterrey.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Brazilian wingbacks delivered emphatic performances at the Rose Bowl.

Cristian Chivu fielded an experimental line-up in Inter’s FIFA Club World Cup opening game.

Indeed, Carlos Augusto took Federico Dimarco’s place on the left wing and excelled.

In addition to providing a crucial assist for Lautaro Martinez, the ex-Monza star was all over the place.

Most of Inter’s attacks flowed through his flank as he constantly pushed forward and applied pressure high up the pitch.

Unlike Augusto, Luis Henrique came off the bench to make his Nerazzurri debut.

Indeed, he replaced Benjamin Pavard midway through the second half as Inter sought a crucial second goal.

Though they couldn’t find it, the ex-Olympique Marseille winger flew out of the traps, showing incredible energy and confidence.

Not afraid to take on his markers, Henrique created all sorts of problems on the right wing, offering a glimpse of his talent.

Dislodging Denzel Dumfries from the starting XI looks impossible, yet the 23-year-old may have already made a strong case.
