Alan Patrick's role declines at Inter amid tactical changes
Summary

Alan Patrick has seen his role at Inter diminish this season, marking potentially his quietest year since returning to the club. Set to miss the upcoming match against Coritiba due to a right thigh issue, he has played 40 of 51 matches this year, contributing nine goals and eight assists. A change in coaching strategy, shifting to a more physical and defensive style, has affected his playing time. However, under new coach Eduardo Baptista, he has started four of the last five matches, scoring two goals and providing an assist during that stretch. Inter's recent performance shows a mixed record with and without their captain on the pitch.
