            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay I exaggerated, Marcelo is one of the greatest players in the world nowadays but I did it because you have to know <strong>Guilherme Arana</strong>. The fullback is just 20 years old who plays on Corinthians is today one of the best players in Brazil and soon you will see him playing in Europe, I guarantee.</p><p>Skillful, Arana is essential for Corinthians that this season (probably) will be the champion of the National Championship. We say that because without him the team lost 4 games, and with him, the team didn’t lose one game in all the championship. Yeah hell yeah!!!</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FUW4oQzd2C8g%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUW4oQzd2C8g&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FUW4oQzd2C8g%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/8c862cc4af9106f8bb9b7245787af5ba/href">https://medium.com/media/8c862cc4af9106f8bb9b7245787af5ba/href</a></iframe><p>He has a great sense of “what to do”in the field. He knows when is time to go to attack and when it’s time to stay and help the defense. On the other hand, when he goes to attack he is creative and it is a problem for the opponents.</p><p>Ajax (Holland), Internacionale (Italy), Sevilla (Spain), Bordeux (French) are some teams that this season tried to get Arana but Corinthians refused all the proposals. Probably next year will be impossible to remain the young player in the team for Corinthians, mainly if Barcelona or Real Madrid try to hire the fullback (these teams are the dream’s team to Arana).</p><p>The last but not the least don’t forget: Arana is Brazilian, he loves to play like Brazilian, so be careful and close your legs (see the video and understand).</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=746ebc770004" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

It’s a great chance to get the vacancy in the list to go to the FIFA World Cup but who is Arthur?</p><p>The defensive midfielder who plays on Grêmio — an important team from south of Brazil — started to play just in 2015.

Technically he is very important and his style is like Casemiro (Real Madrid’s defensive midfielder).</p><p>For the national team, it is the first time that he was elected but he already played on U-17 national team.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He changed the Olympic Soccer Games to Brazil. Hell Yeah, it is true. It was not Neymar or Gabriel Jesus who change the Olympic Games in favor of for Brazil was Luan.</p><p>Luan is just 24 years old, he is not so young but also isn’t old. He is playing on Grêmio, in Brazil, but for sure he is the best player of Brazil’s championship. He has the control of the game when he plays well the team also has a good game. It is incredible the ability and the power that he has.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*X8Rgq_fZAZqYcnP2BOw6Rg.jpeg" /></figure><p>For the next game of Brazil for FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, Tite has summoned Luan, but it is very difficult for him to play on the team with Neymar, William, Coutinho, Jesus, and others. On the other hand, for sure, if Tite needs him he will do a very good job doesn’t matter the position that he entered in the Brazilian attack.</p><p>I don’t know if this year, or next year, but you will see Luan playing in the greats teams of Europe, like Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventus or teams like these. Wait and you will see.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fnnb0toF0t50%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dnnb0toF0t50&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fnnb0toF0t50%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/48bb8f50503f01e444bcc5843dd6ebf5/href">https://medium.com/media/48bb8f50503f01e444bcc5843dd6ebf5/href</a></iframe><p>For now, enjoy and follow Luan in Brazil, it is a good attraction to watch and you won’t regret this, my tip for you!!!</p><p>Do you know Luan?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you watch the Champions League finals? And you noticed a something quite interesting that the best full-backs in the field have the same nationality…Yeah they are Brazilians.</p><p>Brazil has the reputation to create the best attack players in the world: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, Kaka, Pelé and so on. But in the last years, something different will be happening. Nowadays we have the best full-back players in the world.</p><p>Marcelo is an example. He plays for Real Madrid since 2007, he won more than 10 trophies with a spotlight for 3 Champions Leagues and 4 La Ligas. And also Marcelo is known like the best left-back in the world.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*u-1n2xIpn3CxE3WMmtzzYA.jpeg" /></figure><p>In the right side, we have the experient Dani Alves who nowadays play for Juventus but everyone remembers when Dani played in Barcelona for 9 years. With Messi, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta and other players, Dani Alves changed the history of Barcelona and was part of the team that some people known like the best team of all times in the world.</p><p>He won more than 30 trophies among them 3 Champions Leagues and 6 La Liga. In the last year, he won the Serie A and Cup of Italy for Juventus.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/768/1*s0SZEskoB4Yty9n0qgrdFA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Besides that Brazil has others great full-back players:</p><p>Filipe Luíz who plays for Atletico de Madrid, Alex Sandro plays for Juventus, Danilo that plays for Real Madrid, Fabinho and Jorge that play for Monaco and Fagner who plays for Corinthians (BRA). They are good players and frequently are part of the National Team.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/622/1*n_Uv9-Ra5u2E1F2qJ6byog.jpeg" /></figure><p>The truth is that Brazil has good options for that position, and Do you wanna know the reason? I believe that the players realized that in this position we have a lack of talent in the world, so it’s better to focus in do the best instead to be another one in attack for example.</p><p>It’s good for Brazilian coach Tite that now has to solve the problem: Who he will bring to Russia in the World Cup?</p><p>Make your bet!</p><p>If you liked this article, SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS and comment here!</p><p>See you soon!!!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=71b9c27a9444" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>July 8 2014</strong>, Brazil (only) 1 x 7 Germany. The worst day of the history of the Brazilian soccer. It was my birthday, I will never forget this day neither the brazilians. In our home, in our country, in our World Cup. When will we overcome this fact?</p><p><strong>March 23 2017</strong>, Brazil 3 x 0 Paraguay. The national team, again, qualified for the next World Cup. 8 consecutive victories, with 4 rounds in advance, it becomes Brazil like the unique team that will participate of all World Cups.</p><p>After almost 4 years who is the responsible for this change? Neymar, the most important brazilian player nowadays? Maybe Coutinho that is impacting all the England? Can be Gabriel Jesus who is the new global phenomenon? I have to say NO for all questions.</p><p>It’s our new brazilian proud: TITE!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/614/1*GMr4K5Yov3IOy7VvNO_afw.jpeg" /></figure><p>You can find the Tite’s history in a lot of sites/magazines/news but i don’t wanna talk about the past, i want to talk the reasons that he’ve changed the national team and how he did that.</p><p>The first thing that you have to know about Tite is that he loves <strong>DEMOCRACY</strong> and he put it on the field. Everybody divides the responsibilities during the games, everyone has a function and if you don’t do your function, no matter who you are, another player will do in your place. Have no space for egos neither for stars.</p><p>Tite has many abilities, one of them is to know how to explain the strategies for the soccers players. He knows how to do the players to play for the team, to bleed for the victories and always think on the group and never think in yourself.</p><p>Once a time, Neymar was playing very good but he got a yellow card that would take him away to the next game. In the half time, in the locker rooms, Tite saw Neymar very sad so he said: “Neymar thank you soo much for the yellow card, i asked for you take it for me and you did. I’m in debt with you, thank you for your support, thank you for your commitment to the team”. All team noticed that words it was a way that the coach would have to say: “if you do the things thinking on the team doesn’t matter if it worked, what matter it is your good intention and i will support you”.</p><p>It is an example how the coach works, he is a motivator, he is a father, he is a teacher, he likes to heard the players, he likes to learn new things, new strategies, he knows how to speak the “soccer language”, he knows how to talk with the press and the supporters, he has a lot of qualities and so</p><p>a lot of defects too but i believe that he will bring the 6th star for Brazil, in Russia, on next year.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FxBeKGzrQul4%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxBeKGzrQul4&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FxBeKGzrQul4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=d04bfffea46d4aeda930ec88cc64b87c&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/b6cda730a9751840173363e4922634de/href">https://medium.com/media/b6cda730a9751840173363e4922634de/href</a></iframe><p>Did you like this article?

It&#39;s better that you know. Last week the Real Madrid (Spanish Team) bought the brazilian foward for € 45 millions who is just 16 years old. It become the most expensive transaction for a player that is under age in the history.</p><p>He has only two games like professional and he will to Real Madrid just on the next year (July 2018) so he will play on Flamengo until there. He is young and just a promise but everybody believe that he&#39;s gonna be one of the bests players in the world.</p><p>On Brazil, Vinicius Jr has played too on base categories of the National Team and he was one of the highlights. This year he has been the highlight player in some of championships:</p><p>In the beginning of the year he won the award like &quot;best player&quot; of the most important base categories championship of the Brazil. And, for the base categories of National Team, he won the award of the &quot;best player in the South America&quot;.</p><p>He is just a teenager but we have to pay attention is this guy. Here, in Brazil, a lot of people say that he is the future of the brazilian soccer, the new Neymar. I think that we have to wait until next year to see if the promise it became reality.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FI0HwUQgj2Uo%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DI0HwUQgj2Uo&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI0HwUQgj2Uo%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=d04bfffea46d4aeda930ec88cc64b87c&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/b8262108fea526a9e124d705d327c908/href">https://medium.com/media/b8262108fea526a9e124d705d327c908/href</a></iframe><p>So, enjoy the news about Brazilian Soccer, every week here!</p><p><strong>Share with your friends!</strong></p><p>See you!!!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=78704e4e4d4b" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
