PRESS CALL FOR DUNGA TO GO

The press in Brazil is after Dunga’s head and wants him to be thrown out as coach of the national side without delay.

Joining in, some of the legends of the country’s football have also been lambasting him for his dictatorship, accusing him of taking the joy out of the players they once had while representing the nation.

Dunga has criticised the attitude of Marcelo

Brazil national team boss Dunga has criticised the attitude of Real Madrid defender Marcelo, who has favoured playing for his club Real Madrid rather than the national team.

During the recent World Cup 2018 qualifying games against Uruguay and Paraguay, Marcelo was unavailable for selection. However, he was available for Real Madrid and it has led to a lot of debate about the future of the defender at international level. It has also started a war of words between the two camps with Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane claiming that Brazil were a lot of lies.

Dunga believes that it is time for Neymar to be crowned

Brazil’s national team manager Dunga believes that it is time for Neymar to be crowned as the FIFA Ballon d’Or award winner.

The title has been shared between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the past seven seasons. However, both these players do not enjoy the same kind of supremacy that they did during this period. Neymar has emerged as a real alternative to the title after having performed well in the last 12 months. The Brazilian striker has especially been more prolific in the second half of 2015. This has seen him make it into the three-man shortlist for the award.

Dunga says that he is extremely happy

Brazil manager Dunga says that he is extremely happy with the progress made by PSG winger Lucas Mora, who is fast developing into one of the biggest assets for the national team.

After being brought in from Santos for a huge transfer fee, many expected the youngster to struggle immediately upon moving to a big club like PSG. It has not been the case since Lucas has found enough first-team opportunities to develop his game, while the opportunity to play alongside the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cavani has helped him improve his game on a number of situations.

Brazil have a lot of expectations surrounding

After having won a number of matches since the appointment of Dunga, Brazil have a lot of expectations surrounding them ahead of the Copa America.

The tournament for Brazil starts in Chile with an opening game against Peru. They have been preparing for this tournament with friendly matches against the likes of Mexico and Honduras. After having secured a 2-0 friendly victory over Mexico, Brazil will be feeling relatively confident ahead of the final friendly against Honduras. There has been a suggestion that Dunga would rest key players in order to avoid injuries.

Dunga against bringing back Old Players in Brazil Team

Brazil have managed to go some way towards ending the memories of a painful World Cup 2014 by winning six matches in succession.

However, manager Dunga reckons that the national team is still in a period of transition and that fans need to be warned about it. Dunga has gone against the philosophy of bringing older players to the national team. The likes of Kaka and Robinho have been recalled to recent squads, but it is highly unlikely that the former AC Milan stars will be featuring at the upcoming Copa America.
