In this sense, the French also has forgotten of his mate in the cast merengue, Iker Boxes, with the one who shared a total of 205 duels, to the hour to decide who would occupy the arch. In his place, has chosen to Manuel Neuer. Besides, it has conformed a defensive line of four players in which it stands out by the right side Dani Alves and has selected to players with which shared in the white picture. Sergio Bouquets (416 parties) and Pepe (222 crosses) would form the pair of defenders, whereas Marcelo Scallop (388 clashes) would occupy the left side.
