There's no grudge as far as I know. He was supposed to be called up this time but there was some confusion on the status of his injury with Zidane and the rest of the the Real staff saying one thing while Dunga and the Brasil staff saying the opposite.
Marcelo was a starter in the first qualifier against Chile but he was benched after that game for Felipe Luis. If you wanna see some clown defending from Marcelo watch Chile's second goal. He's just an awful defender. I get that he's great going forward but to me it's not worth having such a huge liability on the left side of your defense.

Messi will again have to create everything by himself. At least that's the best attack currently.

I see. I just read somewhere that Dunga has a personal grudge against certain players and that Marcelo is one of them.elitedam wrote:halamadrid2 wrote:Elitedam whats Dunga's problem with Marcelo.

The only way to get the best out of Marcelo is to play to his strength, i.e. let him act as a 2nd winger but have a DM cover for him. He is the best LB in the world but if you ask him to defend mostly and attack sparingly his defensive frailties will get exposed. I am surprised Dunga wasnt aware of that when he started him. Dunga seems to be a rather a defensive coach so he probably has a point in not playing Marcelo

@harmonica, if ADM had played the full game vs Chile in the CA final Argentina would have won it. Agree?

Marcelo is so far from the best LB in the world. The best LB in the world can't be so bad at defending. if Anything he can hyped as LWB or LW.

Re: CONMEBOL Qualifiers
But what if Gündogan and Reus would have been there and Christoph Kramer didn't get knocked out after Khedira got injured?

Still Di Maria would have made Hollywood pass to Messi who would have buried it in far post with finesse. So yeah if Maria would have been fit Argentina would been world chapms

Colombia loves giving me heart attacks every game. The chances we've choked
James is trying to get a goal and 3 clear chances with no luck. We got this though

Andy Polo starting over Benavente, Flores and Ruidiaz

Pizarro and Guerrero starting together again

After Suarez puts away a hat trick, Gareca should be fired.

LMAO the goal they just stole from Pipita, but he managed to have the grace to pass on the 2nd attempt rather than go for goal. Messi great feint (slip?) in the would be assist.

Bolivia is strange team, bunker the bus and play time even at 2-0 down.

They're a team in complete shambles, trying not to get too embarrassed. 2-0 is actually quite flattering to them considering how the penalty was not a penalty and Argentina dominated the entire game.

Paraguay with a deserved lead at half time.
No matter what happens in the second half, Dunga's gotta go.
