Dunga wants Neymar for Rio

Brazil coach Dunga says he would prefer to see Barcelona star Neymar play at the Rio Olympics in August than in the centennial Copa America in the United States in June.

Barcelona have suggested their Brazil striker cannot play in both tournaments.

"If I have to choose between Copa America and the Olympics, I prefer to see him (Neymar) in the Olympics," Dunga told Brazilian TV channel Esporte Interativo.

Dunga, who was in the Spanish capital for Real Madrid's Champions League match against Roma on Tuesday, highlighted the importance of the gold medal for Brazil and said he would talk to Barcelona and Neymar.

Olympic gold is the last remaining soccer trophy that Brazil have never won.
