Since Dunga’s return as head coach, the Brazilians have won the totality of their matches, netting 12 goals and conceding only once in the process. They could make it six wins out of six in Vienna with captain Neymar expected to thrill the crowd.
The 22-year-old forward will be handed his 60th cap in international football and he will be looking to increase his 42-goal tally. Remarkably, he is only six goals away from equalling the tally of legend Zico who ranks fourth in the chart of Brazil’s all-time topscorers.
However, it is not only about Neymar. Dunga criticized how much the squad depended on the Barcelona star during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. When the former Santos player’s tournament ended due to a serious injury, Brazil’s tournament ended as well. They lost 7-1 to Germany in the semi-finals and succumbed to another defeat in the Third-Place final only to finish the competition empty-handed.
“The bad days are behind us; we have our team spirit back. We are glad that we are now being recognised as a good team again,” Dunga told the press this week.
Analysing the good effect of team work, the boss continued:
“Every player has managed to understand what we are trying to do here in terms of the mentality, how important it is to represent Selecao.
“We have created a squad that thinks not only of the ones that start the match, but also the substitutes. This is helping them to play with joy again. We are starting to play well and hopefully we keep improving.”
Brazil’s goal is to win the 2015 Copa America. Upcoming opponents Austria have more humble dreams. However, they are on course to qualifying for the 2016 European Championship thanks to their good start in Group G where Russia, Sweden and Montenegro also compete.
