Brazilian WC Squad: It’s Deadly Counter Attack But Lack of Planning
By Fernando Sell, writing from Brazil
After reading this title you are probably thinking that I am crazy. A team which won the Confederations Cup last, Copa América 2007 and who areone of the favourites to lift the World Cup, can’t suffer from a lack of planning and organization.
However, the truth is the the Brazilian squad has been badly planned and chosen. Below is their World Cup Squad:
Goalkeepers
Júlio César (Inter Milan)
Gomes (Tottenham)
Doni (Roma)
Right Backs
Maicon (Inter Milan)
Daniel Alves (Barcelona)
Centre Backs
Lúcio (Inter Milan)
Juan (Roma)
Luisão (Benfica)
Thiago Silva (AC Milan)
