There are many Brazilians who never get called for the NT, it doesnt mean there bad or worse then some of the ones who do get called up. Sometimes its for tactical reasons or a coach just has strong ideas about the way he wants his team to play.

For ex. Maicon is a the starting RB for brazil and starts over Dani Alves.
In hindsight this may seem stupid to certain fans but Dunga is a coach who places alot of importance in defending and Maicon stays back more as he also is stronger and taller then little alves thus being more defensively precautious. Another reason maybe because dani may change the way of attack on the right. Anywayz just a few examples.
I understand that completely. Maybe I was a bit unfair towards him, and I think Dunga can be a bit of an airhead sometimes...

But, there are better Brazilian attacking midfielders out there. I never have been that impressed by Mancini. I much rather have Hernanes playing as another attacking midfielder, instead of Mancini. He's certainly a lot younger and faster from what I've seen in the Copa Libertadores.
