Brazilian squad for the Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 2011 (Part 1)
The Brazilian team is always a threat when it comes down to international competitions like the Copa America or the FIFA World Cup. Even if they don’t have the star power that is required to win competitions, they manage to do wonders as a team and win competitions.
Brazil has won five FIFA World Cups and that simply explains their strength when it comes down to playing international competitions. However, during their times as World Champions, they have had exceptional players playing for them. With the likes of Rivaldo,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189, Brazilians have been outstanding whenever it has come down to playing international football competitions.
During the FIFA World Cup 2010, the Brazilians did not have enough star power to aid them towards winning the title but they were still the favourites to win it. One of the reasons why they were favourites was because of their team work and how their coach
Dunga was working with the team.
Dunga introduced a totally new strategy for the Brazilian team. The South Americans were famous for their attacking display but Dunga made them defend strongly throughout the competition. It did help them win games early but later on they failed to qualify
for the next stage of the competition.
Brazilians were paired up with two difficult teams of the competition – Cote d’Ivoire and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871. Chileans were looking
to be a tough side but they were simply no match for the five times World Cup winners and the Brazilians won the game to qualify for the quarter final stage of the competition.
In the quarter finals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 were unbeaten throughout the World Cup qualifications and they won all their group games. The Brazilians strategy was to defend strongly and play on counter attacks. They were
managed to score the first goal but later http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521.
The Brazilian were eliminated from the competition and Dunga was sacked on the spot. Mano Menezes were soon chosen as the coach for the Brazilian football team. Mano Menezes, the former Gremio coach helped the Brazilian side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Corinthians-c38855 win the Campeonata
Brasileiro Serie B 2008 by not losing a single game. For his performance with the Brazilian club he was given the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 of being the head of the Brazilian team.
The Brazilian coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mano-c23341 Menezes applied different tactics compared to the former coach, Dunga. Menezes believes in attack and usually plays the formation 4-2-1-3. The three strikers in the front don’t really move to the flanks but play in the centre of
the pitch right behind a centre forward to assist him in goal scoring.
While coaching the Brazilian team, Menezes decided to call-up almost all the world cup performers but he judged most of them through their performances at club level. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid.
