No Surprises as Dunga Announces WCQ Squad
Bruno Romani | Mar 12, 2009 | Comments 3
Dunga announced the squad to take on Ecuador and Peru for the World Cup Qualifying. The biggest surprise? Defender Miranda from Sao Paulo. The “no” surprise? Dunga is always late. When Miranda was one of the best defenders in Brazil, Dunga ignored him. Now that he is not even the best defender at Sao Paulo (Andre Dias is the man now), Dunga called him. Is it Dunga just th late guy (you know, the one who just bought an iPod when everyone is moving to an iPhone) or is he working with player’s agents (as many say)? Don’t be surprised if Miranda moves to Europe in June. Anyway, the players are:
GOALKEEPERS
Julio César (Internazionale)
Doni (Roma)
SIDEBACKS
Maicon (Internazionale)
Daniel Alves (Barcelona)
Kleber (Internacional)
Marcelo (Real Madrid)
DEFENDERS
Lúcio (Bayern de Munich)
Miranda (São Paulo)
Luisão (Benfica)
Thiago Silva (Milan)
MIDFIELDERS
Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos)
Elano (Manchester City)
Anderson (Manchester United)
Josué (Wolfsburg)
Ronaldinho Gaúcho (Milan)
Julio Baptista (Roma)
Felipe Melo (Fiorentina)
Kaká (Milan)
FORWARDS
Robinho (Manchester City)
Luís Fabiano (Sevilla)
Alexandre Pato (Milan)
Adriano (Internazionale)

I can say this for sure (insider’s info) – he is getting agent’s money.
Sad but true.
I wonder when would Dunga think that Gilberto Silva is old. When Gilberto Silva was younger and sharper he never really got that many first team chances and now he cannot seem do anything that would exclude him from the team. Either the players are being selected a few years before they have showed anything consistent on the field or a few years past their prime. Denielson of Arsenal should be given a chance. This is the right time. He has great mobility, great vision but most importantly can make clean tackles. He is a better version of Silva and should be given a chance. The entire midfield needs an overhaul except Kaka and Elano.
Agreed 100% Gator.
