Tim Vickery

And he's been at relatively small clubs.

First it was Selenitana and then Atalanta.

Brazil had a look at him in the Copa America two years ago under the previous coach and he hardly got on the field.

And then he was forgotten.

I wonder whether Edison thinks he should have been more ruthless and moved away from Atalanta earlier.

I wonder if... Going to United, even a United without playing European competition, look what that's done for Cunha.

done a lot for his profile.

But yeah, I would have had him in just because I think you're going to need more lung power in that sector during the course of the competition.

This is when I say that Ancelotti might be regretting some of his... He's taking nine defenders.

He'd always said he was going to take nine, but I thought that was to give extra cover for Edou Militant, who was going to be the right back.

who's been very injury-prone, but he's broken down again.

He won't go.

So, you know, he's got nine defenders, three of whom can play pretty well.

Danilo, the veteran Danilo, and Ancelotti says himself, he can play in any position in the back four.

Ibanez, they're taking as a right-back, but he's a centre-back, really.

Alexandro is a left-back.

We can also give you the centre-back if you need it.

So you've got three with some versatility.

Why do you need nine?

And that means, with all the strikers that he's taken, that means one fewer midfielder.
