DUNGA WILL MAKE SUBS
Thursday, December 11th, 2014Brazil national team coach Dunga says that he is planning to make use of his six allocated substitutions in the friendly against Japan in order to get a better understanding of his team. Dunga is in his second spell as the manager of the national team. He is preparing his team to do well at the upcoming Copa America, but his most important job will be to do well at the World Cup 2018 in Russia. Brazil come on the back of a humiliation at the World Cup 2014, which started so well in front of their own supporters.
In order to overcome this disappointment, Dunga brought back a number of players from his previous spell who were omitted by Luiz Felipe Scolari. This includes midfielder Kaka, who has just joined MLS club Orlando City on a permanent basis. Despite being in the twilight of his career, the return of players like Kaka is expected to benefit the team in terms of experience. Brazil struggled without the same in the semi-final against Germany as they were ripped apart 7-1. Newcomers in the squad include the likes of goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe, Mario Fernandes, and Souza. The friendly against Japan will take place in Singapore and it presents Dunga a great opportunity to look at his team in detail.
“The intention is to use all six substitutions we are allowed. Mainly because of the long trip to China, the intense game we had against Argentina in the smog [in Beijing]. We will give an opportunity to new players who are in the squad. The quality of Brazilian players means were are always expected to put on a good show, but we need a good pitch to play speed and with intensity. The intention, every time we play, is to produce a good show,” said Dunga.
Vasco da Gama bring in Santana
Monday, September 22nd, 2014Vasco da Gama have brought in one of the former coaches in the form of Joel Santana to lead them to title success at the end of the campaign. Joel Santana is no stranger to the club after having been in charge of the team in four separate spells before. His first appearance in the Vasco da Gama dugout came in the 1986-87 season. Even though he lasted only one season at the club, he has since been a cult figure in these parts. He has since been around the club on three occasions. Even though he has not lasted for two seasons at a stretch, it is believed that the arrival of Santana will make them challengers for a return to the Brazilian top-flight.
Santana finds himself having to deal with second division matches, but it is something that the 65-year-old will probably relish since it only adds to the vast experience he has in the game. The 65-year-old’s first match in charge after returning to the club will be against Luverdense in the league. The club only recently brought an end to a run of five matches without a win by beating América Mineiro in the league. This victory leaves them one point behind the top of the table. The poor form in recent weeks, though, has allowed several teams to compete for the league title.
“I am happy to be back receiving a salary after over a year. Now, for example, I am at the bank. The bills don’t stop arriving. I am going to help Vasco. It is going to be good for everyone,” said Santana. Along with the arrival of Santana, the club will also see the return of coaches like Ronaldo Torres and Marcelo Salles, who have worked with the manager for several years at various clubs.
