Brazil has been one of the great exporters of talent in the history of football. Over the years in the lands of the nice game Sides of the stature of Roberto Carlos, Dani Alves or Cafú have come out. However, in the last five years that position has been orphaned by a great figure who has taken over the position.
In the last international commitments, Tite has been testing with several players without getting to marry completely with one. In the last break, the coach used Alex Telles and Guilherme Arana, but neither of them stood out too much in the position. Now Renan Lodi has in his hand the possibility of taking over the left wing of the ‘canarinha’ after his resurgence at Atlético de Madrid.
Tite’s options
The list of players with whom Tite has been trying out, match yes and match also on the left side, is very extensive. Since Marcelo did not return to the national team before the 2019 Copa América, the ‘canarinha’ has been testing with countless players who have not finished curdling.

The Manchester United left back did not leave a good taste in the mouth in the last game against Bolivia. He was slow in the short and was unable to attack as would be expected from a side of the ‘canarinha’. In addition, in defense he was quite outmatched by henry cow. It had been a little over a year and a half since the ‘red devil’ had not been summoned by the verdeamarella.
Guilherme Arana
The left-hander from Atlético Mineiro is one of the great promises of the Brazilian Serie A. The 24-year-old player made his senior debut in an official match against Chile in the 17th round of the South American Qualifiers. He left a good taste in the mouth, especially in the offensive section, but it is still too early to give him a leading role despite being a fixture in the Frenchman’s lineups.
Lodi can solve Tite’s problem
Alex Sandro, Emerson Royal…
Tite has used several players over the years. Alex Sandro has not been able to convince and now, with a Juventus under minimum, he seems to have fallen from the coach’s lists. With Emerson It looks like a bit more of the same, fallen from grace and being regarded as one of Tottenham’s worst signings of the season. Far is the player who amazed at Betis.
Lodi’s Opportunity
Renan Lodi is one of the great surprises of this season for Atlético de Madrid. The winger seems to have found his place in the scheme of ‘Cholo’ Simeone. The Copa América final was a turning point for the player, stating later that his mistake almost plunged him into depression. However, the arrival of Reinildo and his adaptation in the left-handed lane has brought happiness back to a player who can still give a lot of himself, as former coaches came to declare.
This season his goalscoring facet has been uncovered with four goals and four assists to date. Tite has before him a player who seems like another, much more complete than his competition and with more experience. Only time will decide who will take the place in a team as historic as the Brazilian.
