Juninho Paulista on the SBS World Cup Show, was questioned why Brazil haven't produced the caliber of the players from the last decade, and he mentioned a very simple fact that the major junior academies have changed there thought of what they expect at junior level. And so that culture thats the crept in the game over there that which is the emphasised the importance of results over development of players. Alarmingly enough.
He insists that they now focus on selecting bigger stronger/althetic players rather than the skilful playmakers which they produced in depth in previous decades. He also fears it could only get worse if they don't react to it now.
Its ironic that we are trying to do opposite over there with the new matra of development over results, selecting the skilful over the physical players. Brazil are going the opposite way.

last 40 years. I wasn't born in that time but apparently the '82' team was something special. Apparently the most individually talented Brazilian team ever. They were - everyone of them could stop the ball dead with their first touch, then find a team-mate with either foot. Football doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. If you can control it, then distribute it before a tackle comes in - you're almost at the winner's post.
too many violinists, no-one played percussion ;)
