He's given people chances (Ronaldinho, Pato, Elano) and it is up to them take it or not. He has preserved group harmony by kicking out malcontents. He is loyal to the players who have performed for him. For me the most noble thing he did was his willngness to look at players outside the big leagues. Offering players in places like Ukraine and Russia a chance to play for the national team. He appears to be quite a honourable man.
Dunga
I easily could see Ronaldinho's brother running his mouth after 1st game of the WC, if Ronaldinho would be benched or start from the bench. It could be like a potentially deadly disease - I don't understan all Dunga decisions when selecting players, but that one was actually one of the best.
I respect & like what Dunga is doing too, but I disagree re Dinho.
I don't think Dinho would ve had a big issue with a bench role, he knows he is no longer the star he used to be... Dinho could ve provided back up to Robinho & Kaka, two very ciritcal roles in Dunga's plan so Dinho would ve been a critical insurance policy. So IMO overall the pro's of taking Dinho outweigh the con's...coz Baptista is not really a proper Kaka/Robinho replacement!
Anyways, maybe Brasil will not need to use back ups to win this cup... Dunga has got most of his decisions right, build a very strong team, and deserves a lot of credit.
