Brazil coach Dunga has admitted that he would like to see Ronaldinho play for the national team again but that it depends on the player.
The midfielder has struggled for form since leaving Barcelona in 2008 and was left out of the squad for the Confederations Cup by the coach.
Now, with Brazil in the final this weekend, Dunga said "I would like him to return, but if he is going to do it, I do not know".
"The question of his return is down to him...Obviously the responsibility falls on him, it depends on him more than me, but I would like him to return," AS quote him as saying.
Dunga went on to clarify that he is was going to include Ronaldinho in the squad again then he would have to be 100% fit.
He also replied to comments made yesterday by Franz Beckenbauer, who stated that the attack of Brazil is not good enough to win the World Cup next year.
Dunga said that "everyone is entitled to an opinion" but they are seeing at the moment "how many goals the players score".
"We have had the best attack in the group stages and we have scored ten goals, so one cannot argue the numbers and facts," he said.
