LB) Marcelo (Brazil)
Brazil’s first choice left-back is Real Madrid star Marcelo, a player whose overlapping runs and ability to support Neymar on the left flank make him a key part of Scolari’s tactical set-up.
Neymar’s drifting inside will leave oceans of space for Marcelo to run into, which should allow him to have the same impact on the World Cup that he did as a substitute in his club’s epic Champions League final victory over city rivals Atletico.
