Brazil coach Carlos Dunga has plenty of options for the attacking positions in the Selecao with forwards such as Luis Fabiano, Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, Pato and Nilmar all eager to make in into Dunga's World Cup squad.
Fluminense forward Fred is a candidate to make it to South Africa, too, but the former Olympique Lyon star is aware if the stiff competition for a spot in Brazil's finals squad.
"The battle for attacking places with the national team is really fierce. It was very tough back in 2006, too, but I managed to clinch my spot at the last minute. I’m hoping that the same thing happens in 2010," said Fred to FIFA.com.
"I know that whoever gets the nod will do a good job for the team. If I’m selected then I’ll fight for a starting place, despite the fact that Luis Fabiano is playing out of his skin.
"But my form deserves recognition too, given I played in 16 ‘finals’ last year and scored 13 decisive goals."
