The head of South African World Cup organizers has criticized Brazil coach Dunga for leaving Ronaldinho off Brazil's roster, saying some coaches are ``blinded'' by a sense of power.
Danny Jordaan said Wednesday that Ronaldinho is a ``soccer genius'' who had talents ``enjoyed by few in the game, both past and present.''
Ronaldinho will only play in South Africa if there are injuries to other players. Dunga selected the two-time FIFA player of the year as a backup and omitted him from his 23-man roster Tuesday.
Jordaan said it was it was ``sad and unfortunate'' that the tournament would suffer without Ronaldinho, and that someone of Dunga's experience should have selected the AC Milan midfielder ``as a matter of course.''
