was time to focus and move on.
Brazil full-back Dani Alves told his team to ignore critics as they
prepare to face Venezuela in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Dunga's men are under pressure after a 2-0 loss to Chile in
Santiago to open their qualifying campaign.
But Dani Alves urged his team-mates to ignore the talk
surrounding them as they look to get back on track in Fortaleza.
"I believe the Brazilian people are so angered with other things
happening in the country that Selecao ends up paying for all
that," he told a news conference.
"We are in the front line, and are at the mercy of this kind of
situation.
"But we won't move on with our lives if we are worried with
these shots at us. Selecao is carrying Brazil's can because of
the massive disappointment among the Brazilians."
Dani Alves said it was up to the players to restore Brazil's
reputation, which has been hurt by disappointing exits at the
2014 World Cup and 2015 Copa America.
"We are aware Selecao doesn't have the same credibility as
before, so we're aiming for some stability, more than anyone
else," he said.
