Diego (http://www.diego10.com.br/v3/site/pt/) is back in the Selecao!
New coach Carlos Dunga nominated Diego for the friendly match against Switzerland on Nov 15. I hope Naldo is next, he`s a much better defender and alot younger than i.e. Roque Junior or Juan.

However, Diego doubled his current value in 9 matches from about 6mio. € up to 13mio. € !
What a nice little fellow :D

Diego is awesome... I enjoyed watching him when he played for the U21 team and the occassional Werder game that is on TV.

He has a bright future ahead of him

[werder]

And quite amazing how well integrated he is already, despite his lack of German and and and..
Never ceases to mention how happy he is in Bremen; I reckon that both Klaus Allofs and Thomas Schaaf deserve respect and thanks in that direction.
5 goals and 8 assists, that's quite a start, and, by the way, Bundesliga best at present.

So, come on boys, we need those 3 points tonight against Sofia. All the very best of luck.

Its been a pleasure watching him play so well at Bremen. I thought he was an absolute steal and one of the best buys of the summer in all of football.
Congrats Diego!

[sweed]

its well deserved. his play this year has been phenomenal. congrats to him and werder!

I always liked him a lot. He's been so good at Werder. I'm glad to see him back. He and Kaka' could be to Brasil what Deco and Xavi are to Barcelona. I would love to see Brasil try out that formation.


Oh, and Naldo is great. Absolutely better than Roque Junior. But he isn't in any way better than Juan.

diego is an excellent player..I've been following him since his early days at santos and still think he'll eventually make it to a big european club
it was sad to see him fizzle somewhat upon his arrival to europe, but now he's certainly back on the right track on the team of the moment (these guys can pester barça (again), mark my words)
I'd like to see more of diego paired with robinho on the seleçao
get fred and d.carvalho up there and you have a dynamic attack that can play the ball on the ground and can rival and possibly supercede the doomed cuarteto magico of 2006
like I said, dunga's got balls..he hasn't proven the coaching bit to me yet, but he's as tenacious as he was on the field when it comes to player selection
though I think he's had and will have a bigger contribution to the defence than the offence despite his seemingly prudent offensive selections

Juan wasnt bad so far in this season, but Naldo was better.
Naldo is coming with big steps, please believe me.

Excellent news. I love that guy and surely expect great things.

[PortugalOle7]

I think Dunga is really doing wonders for the NT. He's not playing the big names but choosing the ones that really deserve to be called.

[deviant]

loved him at the copa america welcome back

In many cases players perform better with their club than with their country but Juan is the opposite. Same with Lucio. When I see him play for Brasil I feel like Im watching one of the top 3 or 4 defenders in the world and that obviously isnt always the case with Bayern Munich.

As for Diego its great to see him back. People often forget (or dont know) that when he was with Santos people here in Brasil considered him to be better than Robinho. Glad to see he is showing that form again.
