The Brazilian football is an inexhaustible talent pool. Every year, hundreds of players leave the country to play in all parts of the world. The Brazilian Football Championship 2010 has not been different. Several young players emerged and showed that the future is bright. Meet the faces and technical profiles of the new crop of Brazilian football! You will see some of these faces in European leagues soon.
Bruno César (midfielder, 22 years old, Corinthians)
Trending
A midfielder with scoring skills. He is the top scorer from Corinthians in the League with 13 goals. Bruno is also one of the players who attempts a lot of goals in Brazil. Instinctive and extremely efficient.

Diego Mauricio (striker, 19 years old, Flamengo)
Diego Mauricio
A jewel to be polished. “Drogbinha” (little Drogba) as dubbed by teammates, is fast and quick. Has more space among the holders after the arrival of the polemic coach Vanderley Luxemburgo. The club extended his contract until 2014.

Lucas (attacking-midfielder, 18 years old, Sao Paulo FC)
Lucas
Slim and very shrewd in one-on-one. He has characteristics better suited to play in attack. Lucas is still tactically immature, but his talent is huge. With focus and commitment he will be a big name in the future.

Gabriel Silva (left-back, 19 years old, Palmeiras)
Gabriel Silva
A pleasant novelty at left back – a position that Brazil has had problems since Roberto Carlos left the national team. Gabriel goes round the left flank with quality and quantity. He has gained the confidence of coach Luis Felipe Scolari.

Elkeson (midfielder, 21 years old, Vitoria)
Elkeson
Coveted by big European clubs. He already has a contract with Benfica, from Portugal. Kicks very well from long distance and was one of the pillars of the midfield from Vitoria team alongside the ‘jurassic’ Ramon, 38 years old!
______________________________________
Neto (goalkeeper, 21 years old, Atletico-PR)
Neto
Another goalkeeper to make history in Brazilian football. Agile and supremely confident, Neto made spectacular saves throughout the season and was named for the Brazilian national team after the last World Cup.

Leandro Damião (striker, 21 years old, EC Internacional)
Leandro Damião
Shortly technically refined, but an effective scorer. Damião “The Giant” playedwell in EC Internacional, especially in the air -has an extraordinary header. Obsessed with scoring. His physical characteristics might facilitate adaptation to European football.
________________________________________
Dede (defender, 22 years old, Vasco da Gama)
Dede
Keep that name. Dede. Tall, powerful and extremely fast. He was a nightmare for the strikers who tried to beat him this year. If mature tactically he will be the name to play 10 years later at higher level in Europe.
