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

4. Jordi Alba

The left-back was tormented by Italy as his defensive mistakes were exposed a multiple number of times. He has had a very good tournament apart from that match but things can turn really quickly in football. Italy exploited the wings with their pace as soon as they broke up the Spanish offense and Scolari would have taken a note of that. He will have to face a similar test at the Maracana and Brazil will be able to do it with greater intensity. He will have to be solid in defense primarily, once that is assured he can look to participate in the offense which he does pretty well.
