On his arrival as coach of the Seleção Dunga had initially trusted Maicon to occupy the right back position replacing Daniel Alves but the coach dismissed the player from Roma for a behavioral problem and chose to replace him with Danilo of FC Porto.
The former player of Santos took possession of the right channel and proved convincing in recent meetings. Dunga has expressed his satisfaction with the young players in the Portuguese media, A Bola.
“He has huge quality and is a force of nature, he spends a lot of energy on the field. That is contagious as it pushes his teammates to do the same. He repeated efforts with great intensity, he has a physical strength that impresses me. He reminds me of Maicon, he runs a lot and is always good. “
