When asked why Melo hadnt been called up to the Brazilian national team Dunga said, ‘Lots of players have made similar statements,

“I cannot comment on each case, there is no need for it. I have to decide upon a squad, it is my choice.”

Melo has made 11 appearances in all competitions for Galatasaray this season.

Dunga’s Brazil have beat Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and Japan since his appointment.
