Champions League: Cristian Chivu revolutionizes Inter against Ajax

After the bitter defeat to Juventus in the derby d’Italia, Inter is hunting for redemption in the Champions League where they will face Ajax at 9 p.m. at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, in the match valid for the first day of the single group stage.

Mister Cristian Chivu is preparing numerous changes for the challenge with the Dutch but not in goal where Sommer will be confirmed despite a more than insufficient performance against Juventus. In defense, Acerbi and Bastoni should decline, replaced by De Vrij and Carlos Augusto, respectively.

Only Calhanoglu, who scored a brace against Juventus, is confirmed in midfield, while Frattesi and Sucic should take the place of Barella and Mkhitaryan. On the flanks Dimarco returns on the left, while on the right there will still be Dumfries.

In attack, the Nerazzurri coach has to deal with a Lautaro Martinez who is not at his best due to back pain: in his place is ready Pio Esposito, at his absolute debut in the Champions League, who should pair up with Thuram.
