Dunga denies Brazil depend too much on Robinho

Brazil coach Dunga has refuted suggestions his team were overly dependent on striker Robinho.

The Real Madrid player scored all three goals in Sunday's 3-0 win over Chile and converted a penalty as the defending champions beat Ecuador 1-0 to reach the Copa America quarter-finals.

No other Brazil player has scored at the tournament.

"The team depends on all the players," said Dunga. "If you look at the game against Chile, you'll see that Vagner Love won the penalty, he set up the second goal and was involved in the third, so it's not just Robinho."

Dunga, visibly irked by most of the questions at the post-match media conference, also denied his formation was too defensive after he fielded three stoppers plus Julio Baptista in midfield.

"The idea was to make the team more attack-minded. Just because you field three forwards, it doesn't mean you have an attacking team and fielding three stoppers doesn't make the team defensive."
