Juninho: 'Some Brazil players won't be back'

Several of Brazil's playing squad may have played their last game at international level, according to former Selecao midfielder Juninho.

Former Brazil midfielder Juninho has suggested that several of the Selecao's current team are unlikely to play for the national side again, after losing heavily in the World Cup semi-final.

The hosts conceded five before the interval and ended up losing 7-1 in Belo Horizonte, to a chorus of boos from the expectant home fans in the Estadio Minerao.

While the ex-Middlesbrough playmaker paid tribute to Germany's performance, he claimed that a number of Luiz Felipe Scolari's team may have earned their final caps.

He told BBC Sport: "It will be difficult to recover. Some players I don't think will be back to wear the Brazilian shirt. It is wrong now to criticise the players. On the field Germany taught us how to play football, we have to learn from that.

"Germans played the way we liked to play so we need to sit back, see what is wrong with Brazilian football. Especially in the academies, the way we teach them to play. A lot of change will need to come."

Juninho earned 50 caps in an eight-year international career.
