After winning the Libertadores again in 2010, yet another star was added .

“ Rolo Compressor ” : The Steamroller [edit ]

The Forties were noteworthy for the Colorados. One of the greatest squads in the cabaret ‘s history was formed in that ten, which earned the dub Rolo Compressor, Portuguese for “ Steamroller ”. They were an highly dysphemistic team that played from 1939 to 1948 and won eight Rio Grande do Sul championships. The cause for such transcendence dated back to 1926, the year Inter started accepting black players in their team – something that was not allowed by rivals Grêmio until 1952. That decisiveness ended up strengthening the team, which placed no restrictions and always had the best players, and besides gave birth to the affectionate dub of “ The People ‘s Club. ” That team included some of the greatest football players in the cabaret ‘s history. Alfeu, Tesourinha, Abigail, Carlitos, Adãozinho, among others. The terminus “ Rolo Compressor ” was coined to represent Inter ‘s power of “ crushing the opposition ” in their request for victories.

Back in Brazil, the players were visited in Rio de Janeiro by the Vice President of the Republic, João Goulart ( a erstwhile adolescent actor for the team ), and went to the Catete Palace to receive the trophy from the hands of the President of the Republic, Juscelino Kubitschek. In the Sixties, the Eucaliptos was becoming belittled for the big fan base. It was necessary to build a new stadium. Supporters mobilised and helped build Beira-Rio by donating bricks, iron bars, and cement. Ten years of work elapsed until the new Colorado dwelling was inaugurated on April 6, 1969.

Despite losing Internacional ‘s most important pit always, it set a precedent of bang-up moments to come in this ten, as the team went on to win the Campeonato Gaúcho four years in a quarrel starting in 1981. Internacional found itself as the al-qaeda for the national team again, in 1984. The last fourth dimension this has happened was in 1956, when eight footballers out of the 22-player police squad called up for the national team played for Internacional.
