Brazil already has its chosen to the America's Cup

Is the current champion, and this requires. Really though Brazil has always had a duty to win it all. In the Copa America fulfills its role as favorite, in fact, four of the last five champions to his name and Colombia in 2001 only knew canarinho interspersed in the reign of the last fourteen years. Argentina will host, which does not lift the cup since 1993 and has fallen in the last two finals against its archrival. The Brazilian twisted and meets the twenty representatives Mano Menezes has chosen to represent Brazil in this tournament and try to lift his third consecutive title and ninth in its history.

This is a selection other than that a year ago in Dunga directed the World Cup. Menezes has tried, with some success, to return to the jogo bonito that characterized the selection verdeamarelha. One of the problems it faces is that it has no Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo or Ronaldinho the best versions or Kaka. Rarely characterized Brazil in recent decades by a great team game, but by the inspiration of its stars and showing understanding with the national team. That changed with Dunga and Brazil did not look like herself, highlighted by the block and strength on defense. Now want to return the ball Menezes his former role.

There are notable absences, as in any selection list of any importance. Ronaldinho, despite their efforts and return to the Brazilian league, has not convinced the coach. Nor Kaka, who has been a difficult year after operation and only in some games has been like the 2007 Golden Ball. His teammate Marcelo is without doubt one of the most striking absences, because it is a player who has grown over the last season and outstanding performances has signed with the Madrid shirt. Striker Hulk, Porto, or Hernanes midfielder, from Lazio, who had been told in previous editions, also remain off the list. Yes they are, despite concerns for their respective injuries, the young attacking midfielder Duck and Goose.

Goal

Julius Caesar is still the undisputed master of the Brazilian goal. Perhaps the best goalie in their history with Gilmar, the interest remains a fence. Victor, Guild, will be his deputy. Gomes, who has starred in some terrible mistakes with Tottenham, is left off the list. Diego Alves, brand new signing of Valencia and one of the best goalkeepers in the league, might have been part of the issue and be the future keeper. Also left out Jefferson and Fabio, on the list of pre summoned.

Defense

If Maicon was undeniably the holder on the right side and the world's best in his post, things have changed since the discrete year of nerazurro defense and the great season of Dani Alves. Today, the Barca is the best right-back. On the left, Andre Santos, Fenerbahçe, is postulated as a starter, with Adriano Barcelona as a wildcard in the reserve. The owner of the World, Bastos, not on the list. To the center appear to have advantage Lucio and Thiago Silva. David Luiz, after his great performance at Chelsea, would be a luxurious alternative but can also play on the left. Full Luisao a large central quartet.

Midfield

Double pivot and two inside that have the additions to the offensive side has always Brazil, although this may vary to a 4-3-3 formation to play with three forwards. Youth and experience form the core of Brazil, a mix that relies heavily on coach. Lucas Leiva has a fixed place in the containment, with Sandro spur on the reservation. Next to the Liverpool footballer, another activist of the Premier, the Chelsea player Ramires. Goose waits his turn with greater qualifications for the distribution of the ball.

The eternal Elano, today at Santos, has several papers to protect your site from the right, and Elijah, who has not shown much in the Calderon and Jadson ofSpartak, fight for their inclusion in the team. Lucas Moura playmaker eighteen years of Sao Paulo, could become one of the great revelations of the tournament if you have minutes. Anderson, of Manchester, is left out after being present in the list of pre convened, as Henrique Neves.

Front

Neymar, Robinho, Pato and Fred. The first, nineteen years old and seem to stick on the Madrid and Barcelona, ​​is the great feeling of the Brazilian championship and a fixed Menezes. Robinho and Pato come to Argentina after starring in a good season with Milan, but the former Real Madrid seems to have an advantage in the team. Fred, now in the Fluminense and played for Lyon, enters the list after four years out of the selection. Another notable absence in addition to the Hulk, is that of Nilmar, who completed a great first round at Villarreal to go off in the second. Regarding the World disappears from the list Luis Fabiano, who has not lived his best season.
