Eight Uncapped Brazil Players Called Up for Norway Friendly
It hasn’t taken long for new Brazil coach Dunga to shake things up. Dunga announced the players who will feature in Brazil’s friendly at Norway on August 16 and the list of names does not include Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano and Ronaldo.
This isn’t a big surprise considering those players are a wee bit busy working their way back into shape for their club seasons and also because Dunga is using the friendly as a chance to give some less proven players a chance to show their stuff.
Included in that group are three players who play in Russia and one who is in Ukraine. Is there any league in the world that doesn’t have Brazilian players?
Here’s the list for those of you scoring at home and for those of you who are fans of a man named Fred.
Goalkeepers - Gomes (PSV Eindhoven, Netherlands), Fabio (Cruzeiro)
Defenders - Cicinho (Real Madrid, Spain), Maicon (Inter Milan, Italy), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin, Germany), Marcelo (Fluminense), Lucio (Bayern Munich, Germany), Juan (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), Alex (PSV Eindhoven, Netherlands), Edmilson (Barcelona, Spain), Luisao (Benfica, Portugal)
Midfielders - Gilberto Silva (Arsenal, England), Elano (Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine), Daniel Carvalho (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Morais (Vasco da Gama), Jonatas (Flamengo)
Forwards - Duda Cearense (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Fred (Olympique Lyon, France), Robinho (Real Madrid, Spain), Vagner Love (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Julio Baptista (Real Madrid, Spain), Wagner (Cruzeiro)
