Madrid: Brazil coach Dunga has met with his counterparts from Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid as part of a tour of European clubs, the country’s football federation said on its website.

Dunga and his assistants Gilmar Rinaldi and Andrey Lopes first visited Atletico’s Majadahonda training base on Wednesday, where they spoke with Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, as per reports.

The Brazil delegation then made the trip across Spain’s capital to Real Madrid training in the Valdebebas neighbourhood.

There they presented Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti with a Brazil No.9 shirt, which the Italian duly wore before posing for photographs.

Real Madrid’s Brazil contingent comprises left-back Marcelo, midfielder Lucas Silva and the newly signed right-back Danilo, who will remain at Portuguese club Porto until the summer.

Brazil’s national team is represented in Atletico’s squad by center-back Joao Miranda.

Dunga and his backroom staff also visited Barcelona and Monaco after the team’s friendly victories over France and Chile in the past week.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
