4-3-1-2
The first team ever to win Brasilian Championship, Brasilian Cup, and Minas Gerais State Championship on the same year. The best team of the world in 2003. Couldn't prove it because did not qualified for international cups on the previous season. Would easily win the Libertadores Cup and beat Milan at the Intercontinental cup of that year. Few years after that, Alex, the best player of the squad, went to Fenerbahçe along with Deivid and Maldonado. Cris went to Lyon, Luisão to Benfica, Gomes to Tottenham, and Wendell to Bordeaux. By the middle of the season, Maicon (Internazionale) won the right back position from Maurinho.
