Brazil’s forgotten XI: Best team from players Scolari didn’t pick

br1

Defensive Midfielders: DM: Fernando, DM: Sandro

br3

Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fernando forms one half of our double pivot of defensive midfielders, charged with winning back the ball and distributing it calmly.

The former Gremio star is perfectly capable of both, with a 82 per cent pass completion rate and an average of five defensive actions per game.

Partnering him will be Tottenham’s Sandro, currently on the road back to full fitness after a lengthy injury and from what little we have seen from him so far has been impressive, winning 63 per cent of his duels so far.
