Brazil has unearthed some outstanding right-wingbacks over the years, among them Djalma Santos, Carlos Alberto, Nelinho, Leandro, Jorginho and Cafu. Now Seleção coach Dunga has the welcome dilemma of having two of the world’s best to pick from.

Dani Alves, an indefatigable 26-year-old with a penchant for taking on opponents, creating chances and cracking fierce, swerving shots from distance, helped Barcelona to an unprecedented quintuple in 2009. He has also impressed for Brazil when given the opportunity.

Maicon is another right-wingback with boundless energy. The 28-year-old’s galloping runs and capacity to defend have helped Inter Milan win the last three Serie A titles, while he has repeatedly excelled in the camisa canarinho of his country.

So, it’s over to you: Who is the better player, Dani Alves or Maicon?
