For a competition as huge as the World Cup, strength in depth is very much needed to take home the biggest prize. There are many countries, however, who can boast this quality. Also, at a time when defences will be rigid and teams will be nervous and stubborn, it could potentially be the one moment of defensive or offensive magic which can turn bitter disappointment into triumphant victory.Through this article, I will identify the three key players who, in my opinion, could provide this for Dungas Brazil squad in South Africa this summer.KakaTheres no point in trying to be controversial, Kaka will be the most crucial player to Brazils hopes to add to their five titles. Real Madrids fantastically talented playmaker not only creates chances, but is equally adept at finishing them off. Taijuan Walker Jersey Ble sed with natural ability, as well as pace and strength, he is also remarkably composed, and exhibits excellent leadership qualities. He was tipped to be the next AC Milan captain after the retirement of Paolo Curt Schilling Jersey Maldini before his 58 million move to Madrid last summer. All of these qualities combined make the ex-Sao Paulo star the complete package; the perfect modern playmaker who combines Brazilian technique and flair with European physicality.Rated widely as one of the very top players on the planet, the 28 year old has been eclipsed by Lionel Me si and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last two seasons, but he should be coming into his best years, and this World Cup is a real chance for the to propel himself back to the summit of world football.During qualification and the Confederations Cup (where Kaka won the best player award), Dungas defensive, counterattacking style has hinged on the pace and intelligence of Kaka in finding the killer pa s when his side need it most; he is the fulcrum for Brazils attacks.In short, without Kaka, Brazils chances of winning in Johannesburg are most certainly damaged.LucioFor Brazil to have a succe sful attempt at pulling off this counterattack game, the defence needs to be as solid as po sible, to act as the foundations on which Kakas stylish attacks can be built.Lucio is the linchpin for this side of Brazil, and is coming off the back of an excellent season for Internazionale in which his team won the treble. He took part in a defence which showed real cla s on numerous occasions, most notably during the Champions League ties against Chelsea and Barcelona Rob Refsnyder Jersey , where he helped to not only keep out such esteemed players as Frank Lampard, Dider Drogba, Nicolas Anelka, Me si, Ibrahimovic and Xavi, but to nullify them so they didnt even look like the world cla s players they did for the rest of the season.Quite apart from being a defender of very high quality, he is a defender who could only be Brazilian, one who relishes getting forward and joining in the attacks. His work rate when getting back is also a key part to his game, so that a hole is rarely created in the heart of the defence.Luis FabianoThis may be seen as a controversial choice, as I have chosen Fabiano over the goalkeeper who many consider to have usurped Gianluigi Buffon as the best in the world, but to win matches, a team must score goals, and in matches where a side may only get one chance, it is e sential that a team with ambitions to win has an all-action forward who can put away that Andrew Chafin Jersey one chance.Luis Fabiano is that striker for Brazil.For all of Kakas creative plays and Lucios courageous defending, if Brazil dont score then they simply cannot win. It is especially crucial that the striker can finish well in a counterattacking system as swift attacks are likely to Madison Bumgarner Jersey end with the striker having an attempt at goal.Fabiano po se ses all the qualities that are so e sential to lead the line in a crunch World Cup semi-final, pace, power, ariel presence, fine technique, and cla sy finishing to boot.His importance is also shown by how Brazil dont particularly have another striker who is of the same mould has the Sevilla forward; you could argue that he is the one irreplaceable element in the squad, as there are other flair playmakers to replace Kaka and defenders to replace Lucio, and although they obviously wont be as good as the main men in those positions, they would be able to mimic their play so Brazil wouldnt have to alter their style, whereas the removal of severe lack of form of Fabiano would leave Brazil with a huge hole to fill.
