Brazil – Bebeto: “What happened between Dunga and myself is in the past”

ZICO:

“DUNGA (8) has the attitude of a “great man”. He is the head of a big team because he has such an exceptional view of what’s happening on the pitch. It was his desire to win that pushed him to get upset with BEBETO (20) during the last match, but he doesn’t hold a grudge against him or anyone else for that matter. I think everything was ironed out right on the pitch. At half time, everything had returned to normal “.

CAFU (2):

“The discussion that took place on the pitch between DUNGA (8) and BEBETO (20) is a thing of the past. He’s like that (our captain), that’s his way of reacting. They have already sorted things out. What really matters is that the team is better for it. We are all leaders, from the masseur to the last player, and if we unite our forces, we can raise our level of play 100%”.

DENILSON (19):

“If I start for the ‘Seleção’ against NORWAY, the team will be more offensive. It is a good thing that DUNGA (8) publicly apologised to BEBETO (20). He has always taken full responsibility for his errors.”

BEBETO (20):

“What happened between DUNGA (8) and myself is in the past. We are both winners, I want to win and so does he. Things like that are bound to happen at times like these, when you are under fire. We have already played together a lot, I know what he is like. Right after the match he came up to embrace me and everything was forgotten.”
