(Welcome back!)
Dunga wasn't patient enough with him. I agree he perhaps bit off a bit more than he could chew, but I believe if Dunga hadn't acted like a dork and used him regularly, gave him more time on the pitch and above all showed him a little more faith (instead of publicly criticizing him), he would've scored 2 or 3 goals...
His loss.
Patinho, I'll start to call him by that for the next year or so, is a wonderful player if he is given the opportunity. Dunga was just stupid. It's his own loss. You should never publicly criticize a player on your team... that really hurt Alex... and I'm sure he's more than happy not to represent Brazil especially when someone like Dunga is in charge.
Its kind like how Frey and Trezeguet are treated by Domenech...
