Brazil forward Neymar claims the Seleção have already adopted coach Dunga"s stlye of "not wanting to lose".
His comments came after Brazil"s 1-0 win over fellow South Americans Colombia last night, at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Neymar scored the game"s only goal with a free-kick.
"I think that the determination, passion and will and not wanting to lose were evident. Our coach [Dunga] is a man who always likes to win, and this is what he has demonstrated to us," Neymar said at the final whistle last night.
Neymar netted the winner eight minutes from time with a beautifully executed free-kick. But the 22-year-old had another reason to celebrate after being handed the responsibility and honour of captaining his country in the absence of Thiago Silva.
"In the Seleção, it is a new thing for me [to be captain]. It is a very big responsibility, I am very happy with the confidence the coach has placed in me, and the team too.
But it is not because I wear the armband, or am captain of the team that only I speak. There are 11 players that are on the pitch, plus the coach, plus the other players," he added.
Brazil"s next challenge is another friendly, this time against Ecuador, on Tuesday in New Jersey.
