New Brazil Coach To Neymar: I Don't Like Your Hats, And Your Hair! Dunga Believes Selecao No10 Is Just An Ordinary Player

Tags

The new replecament coach Dunga has a lot to say about the behaviour of the Brazilian team even if they have not even started yet. He is very particular to one player though- Neymar.

However, he is more particular about caps and hair dye than a 7-1 Brazil loss to Germany.

"Neymar appears with a cap or without a cap. It should be [a Brazil cap]," Dunga said.

It is only predictable that Dunga will say weird things on his first major press conference, but this is beyond it.

But he defended himself saying, "You have to market the beautiful game." Neymar was seen wearing a cap from his sponsors on press conferences. (And, where can we get a Brazil cap, anyway? The souvenir shop?)

Let us not forget what he said about the hair dye too: "I wouldn't have allowed these players to dye their hair while they were with the national team. Either do it before or after, but they should be thinking about the World Cup."

It seems like the new coach is not a fan of Neymar. And it is confirmed when he said this: "We will not play for Neymar, he will play for the team."

Well, that sounded great, but the coach explicitly says that there should be no crying on his team either!

"Tearful scenes like those witnessed during the game against Chile promote a negative image of football. We're macho, we like to think that men don't cry, although we respect everyone."

The macho coach also said this, "The main focus has to be the Brazil national team. We should be talking about what happens on the field."

The new Brazil boss also said that "people should talk more about what I do on the pitch and less about what I do off it".

That seems very ironic for someone who talks about his team's choice of hair dye and snapbacks, don't you think?

Neymar has no reaction to this statement yet, however.
