Yesterday, in an interview to the press, coach Dunga made it clear that he has no intention of including Ronaldo in the Brazilian team which will go to South Africa.
Reporters asked Dunga if some players, like Ronaldo, who have not been playing lately in the Brazilian team, could still be included in the team. Dunga said:
… Do not delude the fans, do not try to induce me to repeat the mistakes of the past. To play in the Brazilian team is not a matter of just skill, it is a matter of commitment. And it’s not me who say so, it is the group. To join the group, it is required to be competitive and commited.
Brazil was the favorite of the World Cup 2006, for the team had Ronaldinho (then the best player in the World), Kaká, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Adriano and other stars. After Brazil lost the match against France, Brazilian fans felt that several players were more committed with their own interests than the team’s.
One of the most criticized players was Ronaldo. He was said to be overweighted; he denied, but nobody never declared his actual weight. When President Lula said that he was too fat, Ronaldo replied that the President drank too much. Some people pressured the then coach Parreira do dismiss Ronaldo from the team or, at least, keep him in the bench.
"...then, you say that the President drinks too much!!!"
Ronaldo played most of the matches, scored some goals, became the player who scored most goals in World Cup. Brazil lost the Cup, and Dunga thinks that maintaining Ronaldo was a mistake, that he wouldn’t repeat.

It is not the fact that who is playing in the game but the fact is Who the won world cup. If you don’t select adriano ronaldo or ronaldinho this is not a big deal yet if you are committed make brazil 6th Time World champion.
try your hard,
