Dunga happy to have selection headache

Brazil coach Dunga has said that he was happy to be given a selection headache after Roberto Firmino netted his first international goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Austria.

The Hoffenheim playmaker struck a 25-yard effort late on to make it six straight victories for the Selecao since Dunga replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari after the World Cup.

Dunga told Globoesporte: "No doubt, as I said before, my problems have increased, but it is good to have a wide range of players for selection.

"Every day and every workout, I am given good problems. I now have more options and that is a good problem. When I called Firmino, I said that he could smell a goal and he has also made a few."

Brazil have conceded just one goal since Dunga took over.
