New Brazil boss Dunga has claimed that the Selecao have to use Neymar as if he were the new Pele.
The Barcelona forward was one of the shining stars at the World Cup, but was injured for their 7-1 loss to Germany.
And the new man in charge of the national team has insisted that the forward is their best player, and he should be used as such.
“We have to find a solution. Football is very versatile today and you need a lot of movement,” he told Sport.
“Having a fixed No.9 can do well in some tournaments, but not in others. You have to be mobile and create space.
“We have difficulties with some players because they leave when they are 17 or 18 and don't play for their teams.
“Then they have no experiences or self-esteem and the national team suffers.
“If we all believe that Neymar is our best player, he should play in that position and others should adapt to him.
“If we didn't play Pele in that position, Pele wouldn't have played well. Pele has to play in Pele's position and the others should adapt.”
