Dani Alves
Uncapped Alex Silva was chosen for the 2007 Copa América in Venezuela, for which Dunga rested several established players. He made his only tournament appearance for the eventual winners on 4 July, playing the final ten minutes of a 1–0 group win over Ecuador as a substitute for Dani Alves. On 22 August that year he played his only other game for Brazil, starting a 2–0 friendly win over Algeria in Montpellier, France.
