Qualifier Against Chile Might be Dunga's Last Chance

EPL transfer record breaker Robinho, his fellow City mate Jo, mystifying Milan sensation Ronaldinho, and all the other big names will be present on the 7th of September when Brazil meet Chile in Santiago.

Head Coach Dunga will be eager to redeem himself from a 3-0 drubbing suffered by the Brazilian Olympic squad at the hands of arch-rivals Argentina, and the subsequent failure to bring home the gold from Beijing.

While insisting on keeping some Olympic flops like Diego and Anderson, Dunga has made some adjustments—calling in Nilmar of Internacional to replace Real Betis' Raphael Sobis and leaving out Alexandre Pato.

Kaka is still recovering, as is Adriano of Inter who should miss his club's opening engagements as well.

However, Flamengo's Juan will get his first cap in a crucial match where the away win is vital for the canarinhos, who currently occupy 5th place and could possible slide to 7th with a negative result.

Many folks back in Brazil are calling for Dunga's head and one Flamengo player has agreed to assist in the process—Gonzalo Fierro, a Chilean striker recently hired by Flamengo mere weeks ago, has been recalled to Chile and promises to help Brazil get rid of Dunga.

Gonzalo, nicknamed 'the sharpshooter', has promised to help Chile defeat Brazil and by many goals, thus helping out the Brazilian public to free themselves of the, at times, overly defensive coach.

Having not yet played for Flamengo, Gonzalo also said that after spending a few weeks in Brazil he was able to comprehend what the pressure from the public was like there:

"The pressure from the Flamengo fans is intense, it`s amazing how many people show up even for the training sessions."

So, shrouded in criticism and immense public pressure, Dunga must now train hard and hope for a very good result versus Chile.
