    Dunga ignores Amauri

    Tuesday 4 November, 2008

    Brazil Coach Carlos Dunga has omitted Juventus star Amauri from his Brazil squad for a friendly with Portugal on November 19.

    The Brazilian has yet to be capped by the Selecao, leaving him free to play for Italy if, as expected, he receives an Italian passport.

    Amauri has made an exceptional start to his Juventus career, scoring five goals in 10 starts in Serie A.

    “I live one day at a time,” he admitted. “This situation embarrasses me, I have not received one signal from Brazil. We will see. Meanwhile, my national team is Juventus.”

    The decision comes soon after Italy Coach Marcello Lippi told the Italian Press that he would only think about selecting the former Palermo forward when he becomes an Italian citizen.

    “I have spoken with Amauri only once. I said to him that the moment in which he will be Italian, and only then, will I take into consideration the possibility of calling him up.”

    Dunga has instead chosen Adriano to lead his forward line against Portugal despite the fact the Inter striker has been frozen out of Jose Mourinho's plans.

    His teammates Julio Cesar, Douglas Maicon and Amantino Mancini were also called up, as were Milan's Kaka and Roma's Alexander Doni.

    The man's class ... but i think he is somehow overwork in the past few weeks with Trez out and IQ juz returning from injury and also having to play 2 games per week.
    Something which he is not used to in Palermo.

    In fact he has the most minutes in Juve rite now, he needs a re-fuel ...

    and i wasnt reffering to his feet but to his legs ... if u no what i mean ... he has quick feet but he's a mediocre runner ...
    yes I do no what you mean, and it is BS...Amauri is pretty quick, he isn't able to show that because of our playing style...we tend to reach him by using the long ball, so he cannot exhibit his pace when he is having aerial battles with CBs...a great example of his pace would be his winning goal in the Turin derby
