Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the defeat in the 2006 World Cup, Teixeira, the president of the Brazilian Football Association, was seriously ill and used strong medicine to promote Dunga to the position of head coach of the Brazilian team.  No one expected that this tough man who had been questioned not only secured his seat in the "crater", but also won the right to participate in the World Cup three rounds in advance!  If Dunga can lead the team to win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa like Scolari did in 2002, he will also become the first person in Brazilian football history to lead a team for the first time without a coaching qualification certificate or any previous coaching experience.  The head coach of the Brazilian team that won the World Cup.  Moreover, he will also become another great footballer after Zagallo and Beckenbauer who has won the World Cup as a player and coach.

    After the defeat of Germany, a coaching change was the general trend, and there were many famous and outstanding coaches in Brazil. From the beginning to the end, no one would think of Dunga.  As soon as Teixeira's decision came out, there was an uproar in Brazil.  Fortunately, Dunga had a pretty good start. Not only did he win 5 and draw 1 in several friendly matches in 2006, he also defeated his old rival Argentina 3-0 in London!  .

    In October 2007, the South American qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa began, and Dunga participated as the head coach for the first time.  At the beginning, the Brazilian team played mediocrely and only scored 8 points in the first 4 games. However, this year Dunga gained Luis Fabiano, an excellent forward who had already embarked on a forgotten path.

    Against Uruguay at home, the Sevilla striker made an immediate impact in his first start for the Brazilian team Dunga, scoring twice to help the Brazilian team reverse 2-1, and also allowed Dunga to escape the disaster of being dismissed.  Since then, Fabiano has won the trust of Dunga and has continuously established himself as the main forward of Samba with goals.

    It¡¯s a pity that the following 2008 became Dunga¡¯s disaster year. The Brazilian team was even faced with the danger of not qualifying or having to play in the play-offs.  In a friendly match, the Brazilian team surrendered 0-2 to Venezuela, which had never lost before. In the qualifying match, they lost 0-2 away to Paraguay. They also faced Argentina, Bolivia and Colombia 0-0 at home, which angered Brazilian fans even more.  Fortunately, the Brazilian team's away record is pretty good and it has avoided falling too far in the standings.  At the Beijing Olympics, the Brazilian team led by Dunga also performed poorly and failed to win the planned football gold medal. They even lost humiliatingly to Argentina 0-3 in the semifinals.  If not for the 6-2 victory over Portugal in the friendly match at the end of the year, Dunga would definitely not have lasted until 2009.

    As the team gradually took shape and the running-in became smoother, Dunga and the Brazilian team also ushered in a moment of recovery.  In addition to winning the Confederations Cup this year, the Brazilian team also achieved good results in the World Cup qualifiers with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, especially a 4-0 away game against Uruguay, a 2-1 home reverse against the then leader Paraguay and an away game.  The most satisfying victory was the 3-1 victory over Argentina.

    Another major achievement of Dunga as coach of the Brazilian team is that it took more than three years to complete the replacement of old and new players and prepare for the World Cup in South Africa.  After 2006, reorganizing the Selecao was a top priority. Although he was controversial when he took office, Dunga had no scruples about operating on Pereira's aging Brazilian team.  If ignoring the aging Cafu and Carlos (both of whom also expressed their intention not to play for the national team after the World Cup in Germany) does not reflect Dunga's courage, then abandoning Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and taking office  From the beginning, he gave Kaka, who could not be discarded and could only be reused, a blow, and made the "core" sit on the bench for several games, which proved Dunga's courage and courage.

    In more than 3 years of coaching, Dunga has never called up Ronaldo; for the World Cup in South Africa, Dunga should not bring an "alien" with him, even though Ronaldo has expressed many times that he hopes to achieve the purpose of enlisting by losing weight.  Considering that Ronaldo plays in Brazil, there will be many voices calling for him next year, but Dunga will never give in to public opinion.  Compared to when Scolari abandoned Romario, Dunga faced much less pressure this time; but before the World Cup in Korea and Japan, no one believed that Brazil would win the championship, and now Brazil has long been regarded as the favorite.  .  Of course, these public opinions have been created by Dunga through his hard work and achievements over the past few years. He can also say "no" to Ronaldo!

    However, in order to find the "Ronaldo" in the "post-Ronaldo era", Dunga went through a lot of troubles and took a long detour.  At the beginning of taking office, Dunga, who was eager to bring blood to the Brazilian team, preferred his fellow countrymen from Rio Grande do Sul, but neither Carvalho nor Sobis could meet Dunga's expectations; using Lowe and Alfonso Al  Weiss also had the air of seeking medical attention in a hurry.  Even the re-use of Fabiano in the home game against Uruguay in November 2007 was an indiscriminate move - Dunga's Brazil team had been weak at the time, and Fabiano, a former Sao Paulo player, was very familiar with the game field, so Dunga gave him the chance.  His first chance to start

    Ronaldinho has been in a slump after the World Cup in Germany, but Dunga has expressed support for the former World Footballer for a long time.  In 2008, Kak¨¢ was injured. Dunga also gave Ronaldinho plenty of opportunities in the Olympics and qualifiers. Unfortunately, the former World Footballer himself failed to live up to his expectations and his downturn lasted forever. Therefore, after Kak¨¢ returned, Dunga also  Ronaldinho was never given another chance.  Ronaldinho can only play half-time in AC Milan, but Dunga still encourages him from time to time and hopes that he will recover. The reason is that Kak¨¢??The midfield dispatching ability is not strong.  And if Ronaldinho really recovers, he should be able to play the role of a super substitute in the World Cup in South Africa.

    Who said Dunga can¡¯t use people?  Who said Dunga was too conservative?  In 2009, Dunga used several newcomers such as Melo, Ramirez, Nirmal, Andre Santos, Miranda and Thiago Silva, and gave full play to the substitute right back Al  Weiss' offensive advantage.  Dunga seems to have the Midas touch. At least several of the newcomers he values ????this year have seized the opportunity and performed well.  Especially defensive midfielder Melo, who was called up for the first time and started in the game against Italy, confirming the main defensive midfielder position in one fell swoop.  Nirmal also performed well, scoring 7 goals in 8 games in 2009, and almost got a ticket to South Africa in just a few months.  It is true that these newcomers have certain abilities, but Dunga's ability to know people, understand people, and be good at taking charge cannot be ignored.

    It took more than three years for Dunga to finally complete the transformation of the Selecao and build the team into the "best anti-counterattack team in the world" highly praised by the famous Tostang.  Dunga's Brazil team didn't play well at times, but it was very efficient.  In the game, you can withstand the opponent's offensive pressure for a long time, and then rely on impeccable defensive counterattacks to kill the enemy.  In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Pereira's Brazilian team seemed to be strong, but it was ruined by complacency and arrogance.  Dunga behaves completely differently from Pereira: from the head coach and top star Kak¨¢ to the ordinary players, everyone is very low-key.  And contrary to the fact that Ronaldo and Ronaldinho basically did not participate in defense, Dunga's Brazilian team not only competed for the lead in offense, but also spared no effort in defense.  The Brazilian players themselves have extremely high technical and tactical qualities, supplemented by Dunga's iron-fisted military management, and the tenacity and bloody spirit of the Gauchos. It's strange that such a team is not regarded as one of South Africa's favorites to win the championship!

    However, Dunga¡¯s Brazilian team also has weaknesses. The ¡°best counter-attack team in the world¡± is not the ¡°best team in the world¡±. The team¡¯s biggest weakness is breaking through intensive defense.  In this South American qualifier, the Brazilian team's away results are better than their home results. This is ironclad evidence: in a total of 9 home games, the Brazilian team actually received 4 "0-0" results.  On the contrary, on the road, the Brazilian team won several big scores, including defeating Chile in Santiago for the first time in 18 years, winning at Argentina's home court for the first time in 14 years, and winning at the Uruguayan Fukuchi Memorial Stadium after 33 years.  A worm at home and a dragon on the road. This shows that facing the opponent's tight backcourt defense, the "world's best anti-counterattack team" does not have too many offensive methods.

    Of course Dunga is aware of this problem of the Brazilian team, and he has been thinking of ways to solve it.  The trial of Nirmal is, on the one hand, a reminder to the main player Robinho, and on the other hand, it is also to enrich the Brazilian team's offensive routine.  Before leaving Brazil to participate in the World Cup draw ceremony, Dunga said in an interview that Robinho will definitely be the main player in the World Cup in South Africa; but once the Manchester City forward performs poorly or the Brazilian team faces offensive problems, it is not ruled out that Nirmal may be corrected by the line of fire.  He is fast, has good awareness of grabbing points, and is good at heading the ball. Although he is not as well-known as Robinho, Nirmal is more comprehensive than the Manchester City forward, and he is more targeted and aggressive in attack-Denga knows this well.  .

    As for the problem of insufficient offensive means, even if Dunga cannot come up with a comprehensive and systematic solution, Dunga does not have to worry, because the Brazilian players he has are still very good at dribbling the ball and are difficult to stop.  The offensive trident of Fabiano, Kaka and Robinho in the frontcourt can all score goals; Elano in the midfield can shoot from long range, Ramirez will score, and Melo and Gilberto Silva can also score goals.  Know how to kick the ball into the opponent's goal; Maicon and Alves are both excellent assisters, and even center backs Lucio and Juan can occasionally show their talents.  Scoring goals is not a problem for the Brazilian team, or in other words, compared to other teams, the Brazilian team's offense is actually much less difficult.

    In the South Africa World Cup group draw, the Brazilian team was placed in a relatively difficult group. Kaka even defined being in the same group as North Korea, Cote d'Ivoire and Portugal as "death".  Dunga also believes that Group G is more difficult to play, but he also said that teams aiming to win the championship should not choose their opponents. Qualifying from the group is just an obligation.  And compared with the 2006 World Cup in Germany, it was actually less difficult for the Brazilian team to win the championship in South Africa.

    Now that the Brazilian team has entered the top 8, looking back on the journey from the group stage, I believe that there is no doubt about the strong strength of the Brazilian team at this moment. The world's number one anti-counterattack team seems to be gradually becoming the best team in the world.  Kaka, Luis Fabiano and others have also proven their value in various games.

    Brazil plays against Denmark. I believe that any fan who knows a little about football will understand very clearly who is strong and who is weak. The Brazilian team will not be able to enter the top four. Oh my God, this is not a game held on April Fool's Day.  Of course, some fans always firmly believe that the Danish team with Qin Tian is like a fairy tale written by Andersen, always giving you a fatal blow when you least expect it.

    ??Leaving aside, in the first game of the group stage, who would have thought that the powerful Dutch Legion would be defeated at the feet of the Vikings, and finally won by a small team.As the second best player, we compete for the top 8 seats, so to borrow an advertising slogan: Everything is possible!
