Dunga Feels Neymar's Suspension Is A Loss For The Copa America

Dunga Feels Neymar's Suspension Is A Loss For The Copa America

Brazil head coach, Dunga, feels the Copa America would be a bigger spectacle if Neymar was playing and confirmed they are likely to appeal his suspension.   Read: Neymar's Copa America Finished After 4-Match Ban   The Barcelona forward was handed a four-match ban, following his red card during Selecao's 1-0 loss to Colombia.   Neymar will pay a fine of $10,000 and will miss the rest of the tournament in Chile for his actions, where he kicked the ball at Pablo Armero, before headbutting Jeison Murillo.   "Neymar is a huge figure in football," Dunga told reporters.   "The attention on him is big also. Everybody who likes football wants to see him on the field - like Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Alexis Sanchez. With him, the spectacle would be better, with more quality.   "If each one of us who made a mistake was cut, no-one would be here. We're here to make them grow, not to search for guilty ones."   Dunga added that the appeal will be handled by the Brazilian Football Association.   "We'll leave this to the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF)," he said. "They will present arguments on the measures taken against Neymar. We do not want anything in our favour. Let there be equal judgments for everybody in the competition. Only that," he added.   "Our concern is on the game tomorrow and we want to make the best job possible, and also find solutions for the team."    Read: 'Neymar Belongs In The Movies'   Will the tournament be better or worse without Neymar player?
