Il derby d'Italia invita a una suggestione sul ruolo di Luis Henrique. L'idea di Chivu e un fattore

August 9, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Given a role that appears increasingly defined, with Andy Diouf likely serving as the backup for the right-wing position, a concrete possibility is that Luis Henrique could be moved to the opposite flank, where he would act as an alternative to Federico Dimarco. This hypothesis would logically lead to Carlos Augusto being permanently positioned as the left-sided center-back.

Statements that could confirm this

The idea of a tactical alignment involving Inter's two Brazilian players – with Carlos Augusto playing as a center-back and Luis Henrique as a left-winger – is fueled by coach Chivu's remarks about the former Monza player. "If we need a right-sided winger? You can figure it out yourselves... I prefer Carlos Augusto in a back three. Depending on whether we consider Luis Henrique on the right or left, one is always missing." These were the words of Inter coach Cristian Chivu, speaking to Sky Sport after his team's 4-2 victory over Manchester City in a penalty shootout. These comments could definitively push for the idea of placing Luis Henrique on the left, a position where he demonstrated greater comfort during the 2-1 victory against Juventus.
