Midfielders: Anderson (Manchester United), Diego (Werder Bremen); Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Lucas (Liverpool), Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona), Thiago Neves (Fluminense).
Forwards: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Jo (Manchester City), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Robinho (Real Madrid).
Add Brazil to the list of contenders for Olympic gold after including Ronaldinho and Robinho as overage players on its squad, which was named on Monday.
Ronaldinho and Robinho are joined by defender Thiago Silva as over-age players. Kaka originally intended to play in the Olympics but AC Milan denied his request.
Here is the full Brazil squad, along with their potential starting lineup:
Brazil Olympic Team
Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Almeria), Renan (Internacional).
Midfielders: Anderson (Manchester United), Diego (Werder Bremen); Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Lucas (Liverpool), Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona), Thiago Neves (Fluminense).
Forwards: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Jo (Manchester City), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Robinho (Real Madrid).
So what might this lineup look like? Here's a potential starting XI:
----------Robinho---------Pato------------
------Ronaldinho---------Diego------------
--------Lucas--------------Anderson-------
Marcelo------Silva----Breno------Rafinha
-------------------Alves---------------------
That right there is a great lineup and I'm having second thoughts about having handed Argentina the gold last week. That back four for Brazil could be very good and also dangerous with Marcelo and Rafinho charging down the wings. I also think Jo could start at target forward in a 4-3-3, with Lucas going to the bench.
Then there is the matter of Ronaldinho. Will he show up in shape and be ready to play well, or will he become a distraction and burden? If he plays well, Brazil can win gold. If not, he could distract the squad.
What do you think of Brazil's squad? Are they the gold medal favorites instead of Argentina? Share your thoughts below
Sorry, Barcelona rejected Ronaldo's participation. They claimed that it's not a Fifa date. Entonces Ronaldinho no podria participar en el torneo olimpico. Sorry Ronaldinho Fans... Viva Argentina, Lionel Messi doen't have that problem, he is under 23, the same as Aguero, Banega, Gago etc. you ban timoun argentin kap baille boule.
so nice to see Ronaldinho in the Olympics but when you're dealing with the "big 14" they can screw things for you, he was not fit to play for Barcelona and he is ready to go for the gold, no can do even when Barca say they don't have him in their future plans they still own him til 2010.
Brazil just going to have to do it without Ronaldinho. Good Luck!
