The Brazil coach Dunga insists he is "not concerned" about Diego Maradona ahead of his side's World Cup qualifying clash with Argentinaon Saturday.

Both players captained their countries to World Cup wins – the Argentinian in 1986, the Brazilian in 1994 – and they played against each other in the 1990 World Cup, in a last-16 game won by Argentina. This weekend marks their first clash as coaches.

"We each had our history as a player and we are now taking steps as coaches," Dunga said. "But I'm not concerned about that. I'm only concerned with the Brazilian national team."

Brazil are top of the South American qualifying table while Argentina sit in fourth, five points behind their great rivals. Link...
