The recent international game between Brazil and England once again illustrated the advantage that Brazil has over it's opponents. As defences in the modern game become much more organized and discplined in their approach, the skill of dribbling plays an increasing role as an important tactic to create goalscoring opportunities. The Brazilian Coach, Dunga, was quick to pinpoint an area that England must improve upon if they have aspirations of relistically challenging for the World Cup in 2010.
"England must learn how to dribble through us, that's what you have to do," - Dunga
Head of Brazilian Soccer Schools Richard Sutherland said: "We're still in the early stages of our work, but the game between Brazil and England demonstrated that whilst Fabio Capello has improved his side ten-fold, particularly in terms of discipline, they still trail behind Brazil in terms of technique."A basic requirement of the game is the ability to dribble with the ball, something the game of Futebol de Salao develops, but when England's passing game faltered they had no plan B."

The great Brazilian player Kaka is a great example of what is possible when players have great technical ability to run at defences. He is in my opinion a great inspiration to younger players that hours and hours of diligent practice can pay off and allow you to play the game with imagination, creativity and flair!
