Filipe Luis on the attack to cement Brazil role
The Atletico Madrid full-back has been venturing forward more frequently in recent weeks, a move that will have interested Selecao coach Tite
No other national team in world football has to choose between two left-backs of the standard of Marcelo and Filipe Luis, who both became UEFA Champions League semi-finalists this week.
The battle is on for who will slot in on the left side of the back four at next year’s World Cup.
Real Madrid’s Marcelo is clear favourite, having returned to the national team after being left out in the cold for over a year by previous management, leaving former first-choice Filipe Luis playing catch-up.
