Brazil manager Dunga said he's considering the idea of taking the skipper's armband away from star player Neymar and appointing a new captain for the national team.
Dunga told SporTV the Barcelona star would be able to play more freely without the burden of captaincy, which was handed to him after Brazil was humiliated in a 7-1 loss to Germany that knocked the host country out of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
"I am going to change some things, and I must speak with Neymar," Dunga said, according to ESPN FC. "His way of playing and dribbling, which is so liked in football, does take him into collisions. It is the same at Barcelona. It's not about the armband. At first I thought making him captain would give him more security and make him feel more important.
"To give Neymar the armband or not is the easiest thing. We will speak with Neymar.
"At Barcelona he is not captain and the same happens, so it is not about the armband, but all that is around him is much bigger than normal. I don't mean to say that there have not been mistakes sometimes, and we have spoken with him to reach a common place that is good for him, the national team and Barcelona, but principally thinking about Brazil and Neymar."

Neymar will miss the 2016 Copa America Centenario, but will join the Selecao for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
