Wallace currently plays for Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 as a defensive midfielder. He has featured in 21 appearances for the struggling German side this season. The 23-year-old was called up in the Olympic squad as a replacement for Fred, whose club Shakhtar Donetsk refused to release him for the tournament. Wallace did well as he featured 4 times for the Selecao.

Central midfielder: Renato Augusto

Renato Augusto was once touted as one of the best products to come through Flamengo's youth set-up during his time at the academy. But it is safe to say he has not lived up to the hype surrounding him. However, the 32-year-old has found himself in almost all the national team squads since the Olympics and was also a part of the Selecao team in Russia. Renato currently plays for Beijing Guoan in the Chinese Super League.
