Neymar Named New Brasil Captain(skipper). by eyeon(m): 10:41pm On Sep 04, 2014
The 22-year-old Barcelona star will take the
armband against Colombia on Friday and
coach Dunga says he has everything
required of a World Cup-winning skipper.
Brazil coach Dunga has confirmed that
Neymar will captain the side against
Colombia on Friday.
Thiago Silva, who was captain under
previous coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, is absent
from the squad that will follow up their
clash at Sun Life Stadium on Tuesday when
they face Ecuador in New Jersey.
And Dunga believes the 22-year-old
Barcelona star has all the tools required to
lead the group.
"It has already been decided, [Neymar will
be captain]," Dunga told a press conference
at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami.
"He's a player with a lot of quality, despite
his age is experienced. The captain has to
set the standard for the others," he added.
"Neymar has responded very well to it. He is
a player who likes challenges and like to
win. We talked to him when we first
broached the subject and we told him what
we wanted. We told him about the
advantages and the disadvantages, about
the history and responsibility the shirt
brings."
Dunga himself captained Brazil to World Cup
glory in 1994, and went on to suggest
Neymar has everything required to go on
and lift the trophy for Brazil in 2018.
"Every time Brazil won a World Cup it did so
with leaders who had great personality… we
need more players with this characteristic in
the group, whether they wear the armband
or not."
