Dunga Announces Exciting Offensive Trio

On Friday Carlos Dunga confirmed Brazil's starting XI to face Chile in a vital World Cup qualifier on Sunday, with Robinho, Ronaldinho and Luis Fabiano creating an intimidating offensive trio.

The Brazilian coach announced the team after their final training session in Teresopolis (90 km from Rio de Janeiro), before taking a flight to Santiago, Chile.

Brazil's starting XI will be the following: Julio Cesar in goal, Maicon, Lucio, Luisao and Kleber in defense, Gilberto Silva, Josue, Diego as the midfielders, and Robinho, Ronaldinho and Luis Fabiano in the attack.

"We want to maintain our structure, so that the players understand each other so that they can play a good match, and that is why I kept the same team (for Chile) for both of our preparation matches. We want to maintain that team in the case that there are no injuries before the match," stated Dunga.

Dunga seems to have listened to the advice from his critics, and has announced an offensive trio of Robinho, Ronaldinho and Luis Fabiano, as his side look to pick up what would be three crucial points in Santiago. Brazil promise to be a very attacking side, but still maintain a strong defensive structure in the midfield.

"It will be necessary to be very alert, we have to work more with the ball and need to be patient. We will try to make the most of our technique, which is the best thing we have," he affirmed.
