Dunga's Dilemma: Kaka, Ronaldinho, Diego Or All?

Brazil boasts some of the finest talents in the world, which gives every brave man that coaches the nation a positive headache.

Daniel Alves, Maicon, and maybe Rafinha battle it out for the right back position. While Luis Fabiano might look like a favourite for the striking role, the likes of Robinho, Alexandre Pato, and Nilmar always look capable of taking over the role from the Confederations Cup 2009 top scorer.

In the attacking midfielder role however, Dunga is left with one of the biggest dilemmas any manager could face. Kaka is the main man for the job at the moment. Dunga does have other alternatives too in the likes of rising star Diego and two times FIFA Player of the Year, Ronaldinho.

Among the trio, only Kaka is included in Dunga's latest squad.

Kaka is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world, if not the best. It's too early to judge Diego but he sure looks like a good signing at the moment, and a good season with Juventus would see him earning a spot in Brazil's next year World Cup squad for sure.

Some say Ronaldinho has gone past his prime and most of them blame his injuries and discipline for his drop in form since 2006. The World Player of the Year 2005 and 2006 has certainly won almost everything in football. Some could also argue that he lost the drive for more success due to that.

His move to Milan gave him a new challenge. However, his debut season at San Siro was plagued with a series of injuries. Now that Kaka is gone, Ronaldinho is played at the position he performs best. Can he finally live up to expectations again?

Assuming they all perform well (which is very likely) throughout the season and remain injury-free, it's undeniable that the trio are sure to be included in Brazil's World Cup squad in South Africa next summer.

So how is Dunga going to fully utilise them?

I remember back in the 2006 World Cup, Brazil had three good attacking midfielders at their disposals as well. The trio then were Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Juninho.

Carlos Alberto Parreira opted to field two attacking midfielders then and the player who had to sit on the bench was obvious. Juninho was doing great in Lyon but was never the same class as Ronaldinho and Kaka at that time.

Ronaldinho was the world's best player at that time and had just won the La Liga and Champions League with Barcelona, while Kaka already established himself as one of the best in the game.

However, the mouth-watering attacking midfield pair didn't work out the way fans expected. Ronaldinho wasn't performing like how the best player on earth should.

That proved very well that great players don't always work well together.

Dunga has thus far sticks to one attacking midfielder. He prefers to have players like Elano, Ramires and/or Robinho out wide rather than packing up in the centre.

So who should Dunga use as Brazil's main attacking midfielder? Sticking to Kaka? Gamble on Ronaldinho? Or give rising Diego a chance?

Kaka seems like the obvious choice at the moment but the other two could be in fiery form this season in Serie A. Ronaldinho has found his favourite free-role again and Diego is fitting comfortably in the similar role in Juventus.

In my opinion, all three of them could fit into a starting line-up and it's worth trying really. It would be a line-up that fans have longed for. Ronaldinho could operate on the left flank, Diego on the right while Kaka remains in the middle.

But that would mean sacrifising Robinho from the starting line-up, which seems unwise and would give Dunga another dilemma again.

So what do you think? Kaka, Ronaldinho, Diego, or all?
