Neymar
Every time Brazil have lifted the World Cup the star of the show has been a forward, and Neymar will seek to keep up that tradition in June and July.
Neymar has more of a free role with the national side and his predatory instincts in front of goal will be vital if Brazil are to go all the way this time, especially with doubts over the reliability of centre forwards Fred and Jo.
It would be easy to view Neymar as the consummate individual. He frequently changes hairstyles, he has an obsession for 'selfies' and has a host of endorsement deals.
But he is a more mature player than many give him credit for and he is popular with, and respected by, his teammates.
