Brazilian national team's coach, Dunga, is having certain doubts prior to Brazil's participation in the World Cup. In the press conference held in Johannesburg, the coach seemed to be nervous about what is to happen when Brazil meets eye to eye with North Korea in the first game of Group G. At this point in time, Dunga's team has become more prepared because of the past competition winning like The Copa America held in Venezuela in 2007 and the Confederations Cup in 2009. With unity amongst the group, the Brazilian national team will succeed in the World Cup, but has to be aware of the rivals Ivory Coast, North Korea, and eternal rival, Portugal. Many of the news media criticized his pics of forwards. Sometimes when Brazil plays, they end up in a victory because even though they play bad, they always come up and fight for what they believe in.

Brazil's tactical scheme is very efficient because of their defenders and midfielders combined, leaving the strikers the ability to communicate and to measure their centers and aim for the goal. Now, is concerning because several media and the rivals will be studying Dunga's scheme, they will learn their rivals moves and abilities without a doubt. Dunga is smart and trusts this group of players because he respected a process with a mix of experience and youth. But, Dunga never gave a chance for other players like Ronaldinho, Pato, Hulk, Neymar and Ganso, who in turn their rivals are unknown to them and their way of playing. Since he was in charge of the team after the Germany 2006 failure, Dunga applied the midfield to be defensive and offensive, leaving one midfielder to create the counter attacks and it has been working ever since.

Because of his tactics and schemes, Dunga received many criticisms that seemed positive for the players' morale and motivation. We have to see when Brazil plays against North Korea on June 15 to find out if Dunga's tactics work or seemed to be useless but as the press conference in Jonannesburg, he seemed resistant about the naming of several players he left out in the list for the World Cup participation. We can see that Dunga called 8 defenders and 5 of his players who are midfielders called in have defensive tendencies keeping a pace that can easily make the rivals tense and act erratically.
