Centrebacks
Brazil have conceded just once in four matches courtesy of Thiago Silva and Joao Miranda's brilliance.
Thiago Silva is often considered as one the best centre-backs of the world and was badly missed four years back in brazil’s humiliating loss to Germany in semi-finals of 2014 world cup.
The PSG skipper has been rock solid for Brazil and has earned 75 caps till date. Captaining Brazil in yet another world cup, Silva stands out as the perfect leader on the field.
The Brazilian captain is accompanied by 33-year-old Joao Miranda in the heart of Brazil's defence.
Miranda has had some sort of resurgence late in his career as he was chosen ahead of David Luiz to partner Thiago Silva. Miranda has been shown commendable temperament in Russia and is one major reason for brazil’s rock solid defence.
Scoring against Silva and Miranda will be a huge task for Romelu Lukaku and company.
