Brazil National team coach Dunga has picked striker Robinho and left back Marcelo for Brazil’s upcoming friendlies against France and Chile. Brazil coach Dunga has selected his latest squad ahead of international friendlies against France and Chile where Marcelo and Robinho have returned to the Brazil squad.
This is perceptible that Dunga took command of the Brazil team for the second time in July; just days after Brazil were dumped out their own World Cup 7-1 by Germany. He has won all six of his matches in charge, conceding just one goal.
For the friendly match Dunga also picked Neymar, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Oscar, Willian and Philippe Coutinho.
In another report Striker Diego Tardelli was the only one of the three Brazilian players who recently signed for Chinese and Arab clubs to make the squad. In the squad of Dunga only four of the squad are home-based – Robinho, midfielder Elias of Corinthians and goalkeepers Jefferson and newcomer Marcelo Groeh of Gremio.
There was also no room for Corinthians defender Gil, who also missed out on the previous squad, which earned victories over Turkey and Austria and was solely for foreign-based players.
In the friendly match Brazil will face France in Paris on March 26 and Chile at the Emirates stadium in London three days later. And after the match the March fixtures will be the last before Dunga announces his squad for the Copa America in Chile in June.
To the report from team Brazil, Brazil hasn’t played since beating Turkey 4-0 and Austria 2-1 in November, when Robinho and Marcelo were left out of both games. Robinho was playing with Santos in the final stages of the Brazilian league.
In a statement Dunga said he had been working on the players’ confidence after their home World Cup ended in the fiasco of a 7-1 semifinal thrashing by Germany. In the another statement where the world cup winner said “Our main objective are the World Cup qualifiers (for Russia 2018) but before then we have the Copa America and two friend lies.
