5 players apart from Neymar who can decide the World Cup for Brazil

#3 Coutinho

Coutinho has to produce a piece of magic

It was Ronaldo who scored 8 goals when Brazil won the World Cup in 2002. But the most important player for them was Rivaldo. Their World Cup winning coach, Scolari, also emphasised on this. Everyone knows the importance of a playmaker in the team. It could be seen time and again that the playmakers create all the difference.

Brazil has one of the finest midfielders in the world with them. Coutinho will be a crucial player in Brazil's road to success. Furthermore, he can control the tempo of the game with his subtle dribbling skills, darting runs into the box and ability to score goals. He scored 41 goals for Liverpool in his 3 seasons before moving to Barcelona for a fee around £142 million. Coutinho struck 4 goals in the qualifiers including a blistering strike in the Superclasico against Argentina.

Coutinho will be the key player for Brazil in the heart of midfield and he has to dictate the game. The expectations will lie heavily on his shoulders.
