Confederations Cup 2013: Top 5 players to watch out for in the final

5. Fred

Brazil will look at the match that was played between Spain and Italy and realize how different it could have been had Italy had the services of in-form striker Mario Balotelli. They will take away one lesson from that observation, that they can’t afford to be wasteful in front of goal against a Spanish side that does not offer much in terms of chances. Fred has been on target in the last few matches and that is always good for a striker’s confidence. He has been effective for his team so far in the tournament despite of some vocal critics. He will be key at the head of Scolari’s formation.
