5 players apart from Neymar who can decide the World Cup for Brazil

Brazil v Germany - Final: Men's Football - Olympics: Day 15
Can Neymar win it forBrazil?

#4 Marcelo

Brazil v Argentina - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Qualifier
All eyes will be on Marcelo

The Real Madrid man is the best-attacking full-back in the world right now. He loves to go forward time and again and deliver into the box. He has improved his defensive abilities as well. He will be an obvious choice in the left back position over Atletico's Filipe Luis.

Marcelo will be one of the key players for many reasons. Apart from his surging runs down the flank and defensive quality, he will open up space for Neymar to cut into the box. Marcelo is well known for taking shots from long ranges and he will surely try his luck to find the back of the net. But most importantly he has to keep many big names quiet when their opponents will try to go forward down the right wing.

Marcelo was an integral part of Real Madrid as they won three consecutive Champions League title. His cross set up the astonishing overhead kick of Gareth Bale in the final against Liverpool. Marcelo has assisted 11 times in this season and will be looking forward to continue his magical run of form in the World Cup.

Roberto Carlos, another Real Madrid left-back, won it for Brazil in 2002. This is the time for Marcelo to follow his predecessor.
