Brazil's national team has a new standout player: Fabinho. With his performance in the opening match, he may become a secure alternative in the squad led by Carlo Ancelotti.

What happened?

Fabinho was tested in the starting lineup and is preparing changes in the team. He is the only one of the 26 called up for the World Cup who plays with black boots and no apparent brands.

Why is this important for Brazil?

Fabinho's performance in the opening match was praised and he may become a secure option in the midfield. Additionally, his contract with Al-Ittihad ends on the 30th of this month and his future is uncertain.

What comes next?

The Brazilian national team will face Haiti on Friday, in Philadelphia, for the 2nd round of Group C of the World Cup. Should Fabinho be a starter for the Brazilian national team?
