This period in Brazil ‘s football history was called “ Era Dunga “, as according to fans and journalists, he symbolized the less-than-thrilling, dull, farinaceous, directly, and defensive style that the team had adopted in favor of a more excite attack style. [ 7 ] Dunga played the anchor character in midfield highly efficaciously, due to his ability to break down dally and subsequently start attacks with his pass. many other players in this position lunged into tackles and put themselves about, but Dunga rarely went to ground to make a tackle, rather using his anticipation and time to win challenges and retrieve the ball.

style of dally [edit ]

During his early career and throughout his mid-twenties, Dunga alternated between playing as a holding-role midfielder and playing a box-to-box character. He was evenly as effective play either character, because he was quite a mobile player with excellent stamina, and consequently could get ahead promptly to support his team ‘s attacks, but at the lapp prison term he possessed all of the qualities associated with holding-role midfielders ( imagination, range of run, solidity in the tackle, etc ). however, as he developed beyond his mid-twenties, Dunga gradually became more speciate in the holding-role.
