World Cup 2018: 3 key Brazilian players to watch out for against Serbia

#2 Coutinho

Coutinho - maestro

Coutinho is one of the best playmakers in the world, a key player in Brazil's starting line-up and a threat to the opposition. Being an excellent passer, Coutinho is also a wonder dribbler and has the ability to shoot from distance.

Being Brazil's best player in the World cup, Coutinho's 2 goals in 2 group stage matches has kept Brazil in the hunt to qualify for the knockout stage.

Having scored a stunning goal from long range against Switzerland, he again scored a crucial goal against Costa Rica by making a superb run into the penalty area and hitting the ball into the net from Gabriel's lay-off.

The Serbian defenders will surely try to make life difficult for Coutinho by closing him down quickly and not giving him the chance to dictate the play for Brazil. In a must-win game today for Brazil, Coutinho will be expected again to rise to the occasion and do something special for them.
