Coach of the Brazilian national team Felipe Luis Scolari is confident that they would do well at next year's FIFA World Cup tournament.
There is huge pressure on Brazil to win the competition on home soil,more especially after whetting the appetite of their expectant fans with the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup win.
Speaking after seeing Brazil pound Honduras 5-0 over the weekend,Scolari said that there is no pressure on his players to deliver the World Cup at home,confidently stating that they would win the tournament.
“There is no pressure on Brazil to be world champions. Brazil will be champions,” he said.
Scolari was previously quoted to have said that if he didn't think Brazil could win the World Cup,he “would stay at home on the couch.”
Giving some new players a run in the team,Brazil witnessed five different goalscorers in their routing of Honduras,with Chelsea's Willian scoring his first international goal for the Selecao.
“5-0 does not tell the story of the match,” he said.
“With the way we played, it could have been 2-0 or 3-0. The goals arrived because we exploited some (attacking situations).
“With the level that we have in the squad and the productivity displayed this evening, the result was good. We saw what we wanted to from the players.”
