Brazil 1-7 Germany: Where are they now?

Brazil midfield

Fernandinho

Silva and De Bruyne might hog the headlines but Fernandinho is responsible for making City's midfield tick

Fernandinho was signed by Man City a year before the World Cup, and he's been present in the blue half of Manchester ever since.

Possessing unnatural pace for a defensive midfielder, he plays an important role in Pep Guardiola's revolution at City, providing defensive stability to ensure that David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are left free to work their magic higher up the pitch.

He also doesn't hesitate to move further up the pitch to participate in attack and his occasional long-range efforts almost always hit the target. He turned 32 in May, but his performances and consistency indicate that he will remain in Guardiola's future plans for quite some time.

Luiz Gustavo

Gustavo was with compatriot Dante at both Bayern and Wolfsburg, before joining Marseilles this summer. He's already scored 2 goals in just 8 appearances for the former French champions.

He's still only 30 but unfortunately, the emergence of younger players like Paulinho and Casemiro means that his career with the national team is most likely over.

He's a typical utility player, having played at left back, centre back and defensive midfield. He wasn't quite good enough to be a regular first teamer for Bayern but he has settled in well now in France.

Oscar

Oscar scores his team's consolation goal in the dying minutes of the match

Former Chelsea playmaker Oscar received plenty of criticism when he chose to move to China to join Shanghai SIPG, given that he was only 25 years old.

Oscar was popular at Chelsea, having put in some scintillating performances as a central attacking midfielder but fell out of favour with Jose Mourinho in his horrendous final season.

His playing style has even been compared with that of Kaka but his decision to move to China might well cost him the chance to have been much more of a regular with his national team.

He's teammates with Hulk in China now, but you can't help but feel that he could have made so much more out of his career.
