FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 Group E: Most Important Players
Group E is a very interesting group starting by Serbia and Brazil being drawn together with Costa Rica and Switzerland. The Canary of Brazil and the Eagles of Serbia will give their best to go further and make progress. And the game between Switzerland and Brazil will be the standout fixture.
Brazil is a five-time World Champions, the consistency and the experience of the Swiss squad may be quite surprising. This game between Brazil and Switzerland will dictate the shape of this group.
#1 Brazil – Marcelo Vieira
Marcelo is the tone of the best full-backs in the world. Also his attacking and defensive rates are unparalleled. His game makes him unplayable when we think about his ability to cut inside and create space for wingers and his skills for dribbling on the field.
Marcelo’s greatest wish is to win the World cup with Brazil. So expect Marcelo to do his best for Brazil so that result of 7-1 on their homeland to be soon forgotten or become just a very distant memory.
#2 Costa Rica – Keylor Navas
Keylor’s performances earned him a place four years ago when he joined the club of Real Madrid. He had an outstanding season, winning the Spanish Cups. Keylor Navas has numerous occasions when he gave his best to keep clean sheets.
Expect Navaz to take his form to Russia and to be the best chance that Costa Rica has on the World Cup 2018.
#3 Serbia – Nemanja Matić
This will be second time playing in the World Cup for Serbia. They have very recognizable names from their national team, but the pivotal for them is Nemanja Matić.
Matić’s powerful shots that score and his ability to break the opponent’s play will be on the top. His passing abilities are making him the lynchpin for the Orlovi.
Matić will create a chance to help navigate this group by working in tandem with the best players that Serbia has, Branislav Ivanović and Aleksandar Kolarov.
#4 Switzerland – Granit Xhaka
Xhaka provides vital assists and more frequent ones so he would be the vital cog for Switzerland. His ability to read the game and to sit up back and break up play has improved. By contributing with decisive goals he surpassed Shakiri making him not so easy pick anymore.
Xhaka will play the pivotal role for the Swiss team by having his great techniques of play that will be in his use at matches with rivals like Costa Rika and Brazil.
So let’s see will Swiss make it out of this group in Russia.
