The head coach of the Brazilian Olympic team, Rogerio Micale, revealed on Wednesday the final lineup, which will try to conquer the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. This summer, the 2016 Olympic Games will take place in Brazil. Just two years ago, Brazil hosted the World Cup in their country, but the national team did not meet expectations. This time, the Brazilian football team is taking the Olympics very seriously and will aim for triumph. In the Olympic football team, only players under 23 years old can compete. An exception is made for three players, whose average age is not restricted. R. Micale took advantage of this opportunity and included 37-year-old goalkeeper Fernando Prass in the lineup. The team will feature prominent stars, including Neymar, Douglas Costa, Marquinhos, Rafinha, and promising Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian football team will start the Olympics on August 4th in Group A, competing against South Africa, Iraq, and Denmark. Olympic Brazilian lineup: Goalkeepers: Fernando Prassas ("Palmeiras"), Uilson ("Atletico Mineiro") Defenders: Luan ("Vasco"), Rodrigo Caio ("Sao Paulo"), Marquinhos ("Paris Saint-Germain"), Douglas Santos ("Atletico Mineiro"), Zeca ("Santos"), Willian ("Internacional"); Midfielders: Rafinha ("Barcelona"), Rodrigo Dourado ("Internacional"), Fred ("Shakhtar"), Thiago Maia ("Santos"), Felipe Anderson ("Lazio"); Forwards: Neymar ("Barcelona"), Douglas Costa ("Bayern"), Gabriel Barbosa ("Santos"), Gabriel Jesus ("Palmeiras"), Luan ("Gremio").
