Brazil coach Dunga has urged Lazio to keep the pressure off Felipe Anderson.
Anderson has been a revelation for Lazio this season.
"He should be left alone and not compared to Cristiano Ronaldo," Seleçao boss Dunga told Tuttosport.
"Ronaldo has scored everywhere and has more goals than games, whereas the Brazilian in young and if doesn't net for three or four matches, this comparison can become a boomerang.
"He played for the Olympic team and didn't perform to the same level as he did at Lazio, so people started asking themselves questions because they all expected three or four goals considering the clamour in Italy for him.
"There's too much pressure comparing him to Neymar. He should be left to grow up in peace without too many expectations."
