Luca Ranocchiari - Futsalplanet.com editorA very hard job. How to select just fourteen names from the endless list of brazilian futsal players? We're talking about "the real futsal country", a nation living and breathing futsal day by day. We often discuss about "development" but we maybe miss the meaning: well, Brazil is (still) the only country able to create futsal players from the beginning to the end of their careers, so that some of them serve other national teams all over the world.
Now you can therefore understand the
Serginho Schiochet's task. But the brazilian coach, former legendary player, has made his choice reaching the final list of 14 from the preliminary 25 men roster.
Brazil, looking for the 8th World Cup title (6th under the FIFA umbrella) were drawn in Group D, as well as Ukraine, Australia and Mozambique. Legendary achievement for
Falcăo, once again in the team at the young age of... 39!
