Kaka impressed by Dunga, Elias set for Superclasico start

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - The Brazil players have responded positively to the new training methods implemented by coach Dunga and his assistant Andrey Lopes. And Kaka, who this week returned to the national team after an 18-month absence, summed up the mood in the camp with his praise of Dunga’s methods. “In defence, he makes the players pass the ball around from one side to the other, and makes the team move forward towards the attack as one, very quickly. The same is demanded when they lose the ball and need to regroup.” Kaka, who recently returned to Brazil to join Sao Paulo on loan, said he has not seen this type of training being conducted by Brazilian clubs. "In Europe, it is commonplace,” he said. “In Brazil, I have never seen it before.”

It happened to me at Manchester United and I know how to manage it. "We are football colleagues. Outside of football I have no relationship with Messi, but not with other players either.
