# 4 Marcelo Vieira
Marcelo Vieira holds a very crucial position in Real Madrid’s defensive unit. The 30-year-old has been the rock of Real Madrid’s defense since the last 3 to 4 seasons and this time too, the Brazilian will be expected to contribute during crunch situations.

Marcelo had expressed his disappointment when Brazil lost against a much disciplined Belgium in the quarterfinals of the recently concluded World Cup. Marcelo has also showcased his ability to scored goals more frequently and has shouldered the responsibility of Real Madrid’s defense with aplomb.
He has also looked sharp when it comes to winning the ball from the opposition combined with his intelligence to cut out a dangerous move from the opposition with his precise tackles. He can also win aerial duels with his brilliant tackles and has shown his brilliance during set pieces. Marcelo is also a clever operator at the flanks too.
The defender was included in the FIFA FIF pro world XI recently. His partnership with skipper Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal will be the key in holding Real Madrid’s defense together.
