The fantastic kingdom of Dungaland

Sunday, 08 July 07, 07:13 PM · Comments(4)

There I go again! Talking pretty seriously now, everybody knows I don’t trust Dunga as the brazilian coach. Not because he didn’t have time yet to show his work as a coach but because he really doesn’t have skills to do this, or to keep us confident about his work. Simple like that!

I remember the friendly game against England, a month ago when I was totally sure that against a skilled team Dunga would have some problems. He did.  It reminds me the last world cup times when I was pretty sure Parreira would screw up (excuse my language) all things and he did. (Do you all remember France, don’t you?) The fact is, we don’t expect a coach that can bring us JUST good results (even we have some of the best players in the world) because football is a Pandora box, if it makes sense.

But we JUST need to have a coach that brings us some kind of confidence about his work.  Confidence is everything, isn’t it?  And sometimes I have (as woman that doesn’t understand too much of football tactics but is also enough interesting in the sport to give some opinions) the feeling he doesn’t have idea what he is doing. It’s like he just put a team in the pitch and see what will happens.  

No more excuses like “I don’t have Ronaldinho or Kaká”, please because Brazil has other players to do the job in The America's Cup, or any other cup.  And I also don’t accept the lack of “the brazilian way of play" excuse. We have Big Phil, don’t we?  I have this feeling Dunga is always lost in some-match-situations that some experienced coaches (Big Phil, even Luxemburgoand etc) could do/try/ something better, always. It’s also about have some lucky, of course, but Dunga seems to live in his own fantastic kingdom where everything is possible to do, even if you have DONI as your main goalkeeper. Yes, it’s a private joke that I am sure not just Brazilians will be able to understand.   

I just can remember now the post donde estas? when mautex spread his words about how we were (In fact, he was) being messed around in Venezuela by other team supporters that even have any kind of cups!!!!! It’s a shame we have to deal with it when we are also one of the best teams in the world. We are not trying to find some lame excuse to understand that Brazil isn’t the best team in the Cup. Mexico has skilled players; Argentina probably the favorite team to win the Cup.  

What we all want to know is what a heck is going on? Dunga’s fault? Because something is wrong and nobody here can wait (again) for the next World Cup to find out that we have the wrong coach (again)!  Well, If you want to be the coach of a fifth times World Cup winner you have to be prepared to deal with critics and at least, do something about it. It works like this in this country.

 

not the best mood of this world
not in a such good mood, huh?  

Anyway, Dunga doesn’t seem to be the right choice to bring us confidence to win the sixth world cup, for example. His team can bring the America’s Cup (We got Robinho, alright) or any other good result, but he is also very stubborn and arrogant sometimes to admit some mistakes like Doni, as a goalkeeper. We needs to change, quickly!

I am afraid but It’s impossible to understand these kind of things.   He doesn’t have experience as coach (even in regional teams) and day by day (even with 6-1 scores against Chile) he keeps me with the serious thought that "as a coach he was a good 1994 Brazilian team captain".  Maybe there is no translation to this, by any Brazilian or football lover can understand what I mean. Definitely! or Am I wrong?

Is it Dunga? Is it the quality of the players? Is it the fact that alot of the players are not used to playing together or in a similar style? Could it be that players are leaving Brasil to Europe
and such a young age that maybe it is difficult to gel their divergent styles and they need more time to train as a unit? I don't know. Maybe none or maybe a bit of all of the above. Will Dunga last
as a coach if Brasil does not win the Copa America? Only time will tell.

I have to agree with you, I'm not happy with 2 big things Dunga is doing. 1. What is Doni doing on the pitch!! He sucks!! 2. Dani Alves needs to be a starter. Brazil has the players without Ronny,
Kaka, Fred, and so many more that are missing. I understand he wants a younger side but lets not get crazy using the 3-4 best we have.

I wanna your opinion about one youth star of Brazil: Anderson. Is he shy, misplaced or in a bad phisical form? He is very skillfull and pressure is not tough for him because he was the star in a very
difficult time for Gremio. Am I wrong? Cheers.
