Dunga Tosses Mancini Lifeline
(Soccer365.com) - Brazil coach Dunga has let disappointed AS Roma handyman Mancini know that he has not been locked out of the national selection.
The boss admitted it would be tough to bump the incumbent from the position the recently overlooked Giallorossi hero currently plays in Serie A.
"Mancini started out like a right defender, but now he plays with the forwards as a left winger," explained Dunga .
"In that zone I already have Ronaldinho, who is the number one player in the world, and Robinho, who is a special talent - but the door to the squad is not closed."

Mancini is playing well at Roma, did you see the goal he scored against Lyon in the champions league?? brazil is full of stars,yes,but this kid is really playing well.I also read that he has Italian background,thus unless he played for Brazil already he may be called by Italy.(and probably face the same problem there).
