Top Players to Watch in C.F Monterrey vs Inter Milan
Inter Milan has some of the ballers in their team, whereas there is a player, Sergio Ramos, in the C.F. Monterrey who loves to stop players from scoring goals and surely can score a lot of goals himself, too. Let us look at the players to watch out for.
Inter Milan
Lautaro Martinez
Martinez will surely be one of the top goal scorers of the tournament if Inter Milan manages to go ahead in the tournament. He is the captain of the Inter Milan team and will need to create a positive atmosphere in the team and tell the players, let’s forget what has happened in the past and start anew.
His maturity in attack helps him win duels. Also creates a lot of chances for the other players on his team.
Alessandro Bastoni
Bastoni, the Italian centre back, has surely impressed us in recent years with his defensive style of stopping great players. He plays as a centre back but has all the qualities of a proper ball carrier, and we have seen a lot of times he starts the attack for his team from the back.
At this moment, he is surely in the top five defenders of Europe and is the wall of Inter Milan’s defence.
C.F. Monterrey
Sergio Ramos
Ramos surely doesn’t need any introduction. One of the defenders in football is a great leader. He spent most of his career at Real Madrid. Ramos came as a young player and left as one of the best defenders in the World.
He wears the number 93 on his back in C.F. Monterrey. It symbolizes the goal he scored for Real Madrid in the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final.
Sergio Canales
The midfielder has excellent vision and is a great passer of the ball. He has been an important man for his team on this side in the Mexican League, scoring seventeen goals and assisting 12 times in the 39 games that he has played. Sergio Canales is very much composed on the ball and is excellent in long-range shots.
Predicted lineups
The Inter lineup can be a tricky one, as we don’t have a clear idea about what formation the new manager is training the team with. First thing is for sure, we won’t see many chances from the side that started against Paris Saint-Germain in the UCL Final.
