Dunga, fairly or not, is feeling the heat for the Selecao’s performances the last couple of matches. He decided to make some changes for the next two qualifiers. The most obvious move was replacing Ronaldinho for Kaka. The two AC Milan playmakers seem to be meshing well after their performance in the Rossoneri’s 1-0 win over Inter on Sunday’s Derby Della Madollina but when wearing Brazil’s famous yellow shirt it has not worked. The move to include Inter’s Amantino Mancini was long overdue and the excitement of his 1st appearance for Brazil could energize the team.
Brazil faces Venezuela in San Cristobal on October 12 then hosts Colombia in Rio three days later.
