Brazil coach Dunga is suggesting that Manchester City should show greater respect to the wishes of the national team. Robinho himself said it was in his best interests to be here, even though he is not fit to play against England on Saturday.
Robinho has not played since 31 August because of a stress fracture of the ankle, but he hopes to return in a friendly against Oman on Tuesday.
City boss Mark Hughes had insisted it would be "foolhardy" to play for Brazil.
"It's my obligation to come here," was the translation of what he said in Portuguese at the Khalifa Stadium.
"I came here to look after myself. I've known [Brazilian doctor] Jose Luis Runco a long time."
Dunga said of City: "They must show us respect. We are five times world champions. They can't just come to the hotel and take him away."
