Brazil have failed to impress overall but one player to shine for the Selecao is Philippe Coutinho, the team's best player in each of their three matches to date. Deployed in a deeper midfield role, the 26-year-old has by some distance completed more passes than any other Brazil player (200). He has also scored two goals and provided a sublime assist for Paulinho in Brazil's 2-0 win over Serbia.
