Football Style
Brazil is known for playing a very skillful, creative, free-flowing, fast-paced style. Because Brazilians are often not as big and physically strong as many Europeans, technical ability is very important. For example, dribbling is an essential part of their style. Many players such as Ronaldinho, Pelé, Garrincha were excellent dribblers. Many people criticized the Brazilian coach Dunga because of the pragmatist, fundamental, defensive-minded style he brought to Brazil. After Brazil's failure at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Dunga was fired and Mano Menezes became the head coach. With the aid of young talents such as Neymar, Lucas, Ganso and many more, Brazil strives to return to its creative style.
