Michel Bastos Brazilian Best Footballer Plays Michel Fernandes Bastos (born 2 August 1983), commonly referred to as Michel Bastos, is a Brazilian football player who currently plays for Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1. He primarily plays as a winger capable of playing on either side of the field, but stars as a left back for the Brazil national team. Bastos made his national team debut on 14 November 2009 against England in Doha, Qatar.
Bastos was born in the Brazilian city of Pelotas and began his career playing for hometown club Esporte Clube Pelotas. In 2001, he moved to the Netherlands joining Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam playing for the Jong Feyenoord, the club's reserve section. Following a loan stint at nearby Excelsior Rotterdam, he returned to Brazil joining Atlético Paranaense. Bastos later played for Grêmio and Figueirense before deciding to return to Europe.
Prior to joining Lyon, Bastos had never been called up to the Seleção, despite his consistent play with his previous club Lille. Bastos cited his move to Lyon as an important factor in attempting to earn a spot on Brazil's 2010 FIFA World Cup team. On 27 October 2009, Bastos was selected, for the very first time, to the national team for friendly matches against England and Oman. He made his national team debut in the England match starting in the left back position. Bastos later started in the same position in Brazil's next two friendly matches against Oman and the Republic of Ireland in February 2010 and, on 11 May 2010, was subsequently named to the 23-man squad to participate in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. On 2 June, Bastos scored his first international goal in Brazil's 3–0 rout of Zimbabwe.
