QUOTE (Mook @ Aug 22 2008, 04:15 PM) Just hoping Pato plays in the second half. And he didn't... Anyway, Brazil 3-0 Belgium. the Selecao underachieved in this tournament despite the Bronze, no doubt. I hope Argies do the same in the final (wishful thinking (IMG:http://www.pic4ever.com/images/2lxwef8.gif) ). It was not Pato's tournament either but no surprises as he's not even 19 yet. he lacked experience and a few seasons of football in highest level. now there are two seasons to go before the 2010 World Cup. hopefully that'll be his tournament. I just hope Dunga ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) ) is sacked before the 2010 World Cup and someone like Zico is brought in. the rest will take care of itself. |

Based on what I saw of Brazil's games, I can honestly say that I wasn't particularly impressed with Ronaldinho's form or fitness. No legs on the guy at all, very little speed even in small bursts. Nice passing from time to time, but nothing overly spectacular. I hope he takes it up a notch when the season starts.

He has played in every minute of Brazil's games if I'm not mistaken, every three days. that must be exhausting... hopefully he'll do better in once-a-week games.

Either way, Ronaldinho was in better form against Belgium, and seems to be improving despite being upset about losing against Argentina. |

^^ Dunga wasn't patient enough with Pato. Carlo (surprise, surprise) was. if he had substituted Pato in his debut before that goal, maybe Pato wouldn't have scored 9 goals until the end of the season. he felt the coach's trust from the day one, so he could be able to play with more confidence in the next games. Dunga never showed him that trust. heck, he even criticized him for being unpolished, i.e. young! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Carletto too left Pato out in some games towards the end of the season and I still don't know why.

Maybe he can't handl so many games at his age? Or maybe they don't want to burn him out too quickly.

I think Carlo has this not-so-strange stand towards his players: if you're doing what he asks you to do, even if you do it bad, he's going to stand by you while if you're not doing what he expects from you, no matter if what you do works, he's getting frustrated... I think Pato might have done just that. Or maybe it's simply what you said... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) edit: And that's what might be irritating Dunga too. Pato's game is a bit "flimsy" in my opinion... This post has been edited by dst: Aug 23 2008, 12:53 AM |
