FIFA Confederations Cup 2013: Top five players to look out for when Brazil meet Italy

1. Neymar

The poster boy of the Selecao has not put a foot wrong in this competition, justifying all the media buzz around him prior to the event. He has got the goals for Brazil; but more importantly, he has got them in a particularly uplifting way, as his strikes, both stunning volleys, came within the first 10 minutes of the match. He has the temperament of a leader as he runs around like a bundle of energy on the pitch, egging the crowd on to cheer the home team vociferously. The game against Mexico was a special one for him, being described as his best performance in the famous yellow shirt so far. He was the dominant force on the pitch, winding the affair with an assist to Jo. He will be targeted by Cesare Prandelli and a tactical arrangement will be installed to quell the threat that he poses.
