    Inter stalwart Miranda will captain Brazil!

    Joao Miranda has just been named Brazil’s captain. After spending two years as Neymar’s vice-captain, the Inter Milan defender earned the right to lead his country out of the tunnel for the eleventh time, having worn the armband ten times under former Coach Dunga. 

    With Neymar stepping down from the role after being criticised during the Olympic games, the new manager, Tite, has gone back to the defence’s pillar. 

    Miranda will captain his country against Ecuador in a crucial World Cup qualifier, with Brazil sitting outside the Top 5 having drawn three games out of six, and often flattered to deceive. 

    “Out team has a nuber of leaders, and I’ll have the honour of representing them by wearing this armband”. 

    “It’s the best time to answer the fans, they want a win and good football. 

    “Tite has prepared us in the best way possible, and we now have to put it all into practice. 

    “He wants use to be organized well, and that’s what we’ve worked on in the last few days”.
