Hours before the South American 2010 World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Peru on Wednesday night, the head coach of Brazil decided to make some last minute adjustments in his starting line-up.
Dunga declared that it is his team's obligation to win while on the home turf. Hosting Peru in the city of Porto Alegre, Dunga decided to replace Ronaldinho in order to give space for Kaka to return to the starting line-up.
After putting on a disappointing performance in Ecuador last Sunday, the Brazilian team hopes to put on a "show" and return to play solid and fancy soccer. As Robinho stated yesterday, the team is anxious to fall into the good graces of the fans once again and re-kindle the love affair between the national team and their followers.
Another surprise move of Dunga before Wednesday's game was the announcement that Kleber will substitute Marcelo in the left fullback. The injured Maicon will sit while Daniel Alves will take the starting role on the right fullback.
The savior of Brazil's game against Ecuador that ended in 1-1 draw, Julio Batista will begin the game on the bench. He will be accompanied by Doni, Miranda, Josue, Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato and Adriano.
The starting line-up will be Julio Cesar in the goal, Daniel Alves, Lucio, Luisao and Kleber at fullbacks, Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Elano and Kaka in the midfield and Robinho and Luis Fabiano at the forward position.
