The responsible coach: Dunga

Everytime a Brazilian coach tries new defencive methods, he face huge criticism inside Brazil. And apart from the 1994 WC, everyone else failed, and of course the media would treat the coach in a very good respected way. When Brazil plays pretty football and loses, they cry on the bad luck.

Dunga knew very well his fate, and he stepped down gently. For whoever was criticizing Dunga, he found every right to prove he was right. For myself, I supported Dunga method and way till the end. I was disappointed on his handling the game that day, and psychological preparation for the team. I think he lacked experience in that aspect.

This period is over, and Brazil certain to go back to balanced team between defence and attack.

What I loved about the man is his atttitude after the game, which was very different from Capello and Domenech, but similar to Lippie wonderful comments too

" As the manager, I think the blame belongs to us all. I take most of the blame and now would be unfair to speak of Felipe Melo. It is not the first time a player is sent off. When we win, everyone wins. When we lose, everyone loses. With one less is it is more difficult. I tried to put a player with more speed (Nilmar) to join with Kaka and Robinho. Sometimes you trade a player with five, ten minutes, just so that takes the player into the game."


For whatever he does next, I think I will support Dunga, and never remember a moment of disrespect to him, as a player or as a coach.
