In the debut of coach Paulo Pezzolano, Internacional thrashed Monsoon 4-0 away from home in the second round of the Campeonato Gaúcho. The Uruguayan coach spoke about his projections for Colorado in the state championship.
“We are going to make sure the players get minutes on the field (in the state championship). Our focus is to arrive strong in the Brazilian Championship and, in this way, not repeat the same problems the club had last year. Inter always needs to win, but our main focus is to be ready for the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil,” emphasized Pezzolano.

Next, Pezzolano warned that Internacional's team may fluctuate, but what matters is the fans' feelings.
“The important thing is that they (the fans) understand our proposal. There will be better matches and worse ones, but our fans need to feel represented on the field. I look for a team that runs from the first to the last minute,” Pezzolano added.
Internacional returns to the field this Sunday, when they will visit Ypiranga-RS. The match, valid for the third round of the Campeonato Gaúcho, kicks off at 6 p.m. (Brasília time).
