Dunga knows where he is coming.

Jogo Bonito is not the exactly the program announced by Dunga's Brazil. Rigor and discipline are the hallmarks of auriverde. Like Parreira or Scolari, other breeders have done this challenge before him. Result: they won the World Cup.

A team far from samba, a bit more laborious, but effective. Dunga's Brazil and see. Since his appointment as head of auriverde, and even more following the announcement of his selection for the World Cup in South Africa, former captain of the Seleção glory in 1994 and 1998 is the target of much criticism. To his countrymen, he prefers defensive rigor at the expense of the famous "jogo bonito", which has resulted in the absence of players like Ronaldinho and Pato of the list. These critics, nothing will remain, if Brazil wins the tournament as he did in 1994 and 2002 with another coach who follows a game "against nature".
If history is punctuated by auriverde swaying hips and flashes of genius of Pele, Garrincha and other Jairzinho, Brazil has since learned to adapt to the demands of modern football. The failure of Brazilian selections after 1970, when the Seleção had reached the top of his game, scored the South Americans. Especially those teams coach Tele Santana in 1982 and 1986. With a game carried to the offensive, the Brazilians have suffered two stinging setbacks (the second elimination round and the quarterfinals). The cons-perfect example of these two, which seems to cherish today Dunga, the Seleção was found in 1994 in the United States.

1994 model?
Carlos Alberto Parreira, strongly criticized, had presented a Brazilian team and very disciplined defensively. Without the show, Brazil finished the competition with 11 goals conceded three, to earn a fourth star after twenty-four years of famine. Even trial and even result in 2002 with Luiz Felipe Scolari. Very popular in many countries for its success in club, Felipao had built on cons devastating attacks. The kinship with the game of the 1970s have dazzled people in Japan and South Korea. But the 5-4-1 system has allowed the three "R" (Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo) to demonstrate their skills (18 goals), to silence the skeptics and offer Brazil's famous "Penta".
Scolari, who was deprived of Romario, summed up his philosophy: "I am not a liar to say that I want to win in style. My main goal is results. " Dunga feels the same to the last decimal. Inspired by Parreira, he was the captain and symbol in 1994, who is nicknamed "the German" by his countrymen built a training image. Contracted by the Brazilian football authorities to bring some rigor to a group that was sorely lacking after the failure of breaking the 2006 World Cup, he managed to time his mission without worrying about the critics, the image of Parreira or Scolari. So far, the first-place finish in qualifying, victory in the Copa America 2007 and Confederations Cup in 2009 have not led to reverse.

Kaka and RobinhoThe glimmer of hope:
Dunga knows that conservative tactic does not necessarily mean success. In 1990, the team had been eliminated Sebastiano Lazaroni no glory - without playing, say the gossips - the Maradona of Argentina (1-0). Dunga was then on the ground. What scheme will he play this year? The 1990 or 1994? The second model inspires more clearly. That year, Bebeto and Romario as the 3Rs in 2002, had been the guarantor "Brazilian" a rigorous team. Dunga has Kaka and Robinho. And it's enough to him to please everybody.
