Be organized -- the world according to Dunga

Brazil looked forward by looking back in deciding to give former World Cup-winning skipper Dunga a second bite at coaching the Selecao.
Having won the chance to return to a job he lost four years earlier after a quarter-final loss to the Netherlands, Dunga's mantra of organize first, then entertain may not be the way most Brazilians look at the 'beautiful' game.
But the ageing suits in charge of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have decreed that reform and emerging from the wreckage of their trouncing by Germany is a job for an experienced pragmatist -- not a revolutionary.
Though it is the likes of Pele, Garrincha, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho -- and Neymar -- who star in most fans' dreams as they fret over which reformist path to take to the future, Dunga says he has no time, and no need, to don rose-tinted spectacles.

Promising to engage better with the press than he did first time round between 2006 and 2010, he said that however much football evolves certain truisms cannot be controverted.
"Every coach begins by organizing things from the back," he bluntly asserted.

"Germany were always organized," he added, the clear implication being that is a first building block for success -- not fancy footwork 40 metres out.
That thinking was behind the decision, announced by outgoing CBF president Jose Maria Marin at CBF headquarters in Rio, to choose a man they know well, who won 91 caps as well as overseeing 60 matches in charge thereafter -- 42 won for six lost.

Brazil's authorities want to reform the game without going down the path of cataclysmic change even if many aspects of the domestic game are in disarray with clubs racking up huge debts while regular bouts of hooliganism persist.
President Dilma Rousseff, conscious of the importance and high visibility of the football debate as she targets re-election in October, is already in contact with the Bom Senso (Common Sense) collective of players looking to overhaul the game's structures.
Bom Senso was swift to send advance good luck greetings via spokesman Ruy Bueno Neto to Dunga overnight Monday while making clear that outside the CBF hierarchy there is demand for deep reform.

"There is no need to repeat that our leaders are well behind when it comes to the modern game...I wish him (Dunga) luck," said Neto, who clearly doubts that a CBF about to replace current 82-year-old head Jose Maria Marin with 73-year-old Marco Polo Del Nero is capable of clearing out the stables effectively.
