Dunga talks about the Brazilian response:
” The opener is always difficult with all that anxiety after a long period of training. Not only I but the players too expect an improvement in the next match. Everyone wants to score and nobody wants to pass. The important thing is that the team had more speed in the second half. That’s the spirit. We can not content ourselves with what happened. We always want more.”
Robinho is singled out by the gaffer:
” Robinho has great versatility with several functions. I’m glad for his growth. I remember last year when he was at Manchester City, you (journalists) wanted him out of the seleção. I remember it well, I have a long memory.”
Lets face it he was the best player on the field. His talent has never been in question but it has frequently been overshadowed by questionable temperament and indifferent motivation but this World Cup maybe Robinho’s.
On goal difference:
” We have to see how they (Ivory Coast and Portugal) will play against Korea right? We can not predict the future to see if the goal difference will be decisive. But we want to play better.”
If North Korea prove this tough then the Ivory Coast and Portugal may struggle to score against them. Sets up a very interesting battle for the second spot.
