Dunga demands Brazilian discipline

Brazil coach Dunga has underlined he wants his side to produce a disciplined display against Argentina in the final of the Copa America.

The Brazilians face their South American rivals later today in the showpiece encounter and the former World Cup winner will take no undue risks against Alfio Basile's dangerous side, even to the point of having his players practice penalties in training.

'The most important thing is to be compact,' Dunga said.

'Argentina has a modern style, they know what they want to do and that ensures they play well.

'We have to mark well and value possession of the ball.'

Tournament top-scorer Robinho admitted he is expecting to be man-marked by the Argentinian defence during the encounter.

'They are going to be tough to break down and I believe that they are going to mark me because they know me.'
