Brazil coach Dunga says Ronaldinho is still capable of playing for the national team and has not ruled out summoning him for the World Cup in South Africa.

Dunga told the IstoE weekly magazine that it’s up to the AC Milan player to show he still has the desire to play well and help Brazil.

Dunga says he wants “to have the best players, but the national team is not only about skill anymore, it’s about competitiveness and commitment.”

Ronaldinho hasn’t played a match with Brazil since April in a World Cup qualifier. He was not picked for Brazil’s friendlies against England and Oman later this month in Qatar.
