BRAZIL boss Dunga has hit back at Fifa in the row over the new World Cup ball.

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke dismissed criticism, saying there were similar complaints, which have since evaporated, about the 2006 model.

But Dunga said: “He needs to play. If he played with the ball he would have a different opinion. He is a guy who never got on the field. We will give him the ball to see if he can control it.”
