Lucio

Strong and technically gifted, the two-footed Brazilian is known for his intelligent reading of the game and his striding runs out of defence. He is a modern, eclectic central defender whose speed and athleticism belies his tall frame and heavy build. A natural leader, he captained Brazil to the Confederations Cup title in 2009 and led the Selecao at the 2010 World Cup. Part of the Brazil side that won the 2002 World Cup, he is now just four caps short of a century. Lucio spent three seasons with Brazil's Interacional Porto Alegre and nine with German sides Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich before joining Inter in July 2009.
