Brazil coach Dunga has dismissed Dutch legend Johan Cruyff's damning indictment of his team ahead of their World Cup quarter-final clash with Holland.
Cruyff insisted he would not pay to watch the current crop of Brazilians, who will continue their bid for a sixth world title at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
When asked about Cruyff's remarks, Dunga said: "It's up to him. Cruyff can pay to watch this game if he wants. There are many games on offer and democracy allows you to make your own choice. But I am sure Cruyff is not going to pay for the ticket, so therefore he can watch it if he wants to."
