XtraTime Web Desk: Brazilian football legend Dunga, who captained Brazil to their 1994 World Cup win is showing why he was a 'leader' more, than a captain. The former Internacional and Fiorentina midfielder is working with business contacts and former players including ex-Brazil internationals Jorginho and Edmilson and Paulo Cesar Tinga - to help disadvantaged communities in his home state of Rio Grande do Sul during Coronavirus pandemic. Like Canto, Dunga has run a charitable foundation for many years, helping orphanages, old folks’ homes and social projects. In the last few days he has persuaded supermarket owners, food producers and transportation companies to donate and distribute more than 10 tons of food to local charities as more and more people suffer due to the virus. "We saw that there are a lot of people in the favelas who aren’t working and they don’t have food so I called the friends I still play football with and said let’s do something," Dunga told Reuters. Dunga has spent much of his spare time over the last week not just calling friends asking for help but also loading boxes of produce into trucks and delivering fruit and vegetables to local charities. His closest helpers are former players but some active professionals have also contributed. Argentine midfielder Andres D’Alessandro, who plays for Porto Alegre side Internacional, was with him on Tuesday as they loaded sacks of produce into cars and trucks. Local media have also reported that Brazilian internationals Neymar, Roberto Firmino and Paulinho have also contributed in their home states. Dunga encouraged more to get involved. "We ex-players still have doors open to us," he said. "Imagine what the players who are active today could do."
