Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari on the
eve of the final of the Confederations Cup soccer on Sunday said the win over
the world and Europe champions Spain and will help Brazil regain its lost
credibility and respect for their audiences.
The Brazilian team has achieved
four consecutive victories over Japan, Mexico, Italy, Uruguay, on his way to
the final, which boosted optimism in its ability to build a strong lineup with
less than a year to keep the World Cup to be hosted by Brazil.
Scolari believes that landing a
rare defeat in Spain in an official match may give confidence to the fans of
the Brazilian team.
Scolari said on Saturday "we
have passed many of the barriers and the development of the team during the
last 30 days ... It would be wonderful
for us to win."
He added "Spain is a great
team, but they have weak points and it is possible to defeat them. I Think the
most important for us is that the achievement of winning will restore lost a
lot of credibility and respect for our fans in Brazil." "And it’s
winning on Italy 7-6 on penalties in the semi-finals on Thursday boosted Spain
free of her defeats in official matches to 29 games a world record."
The last official loss came to
Spain in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, while suffered a surprise defeat 1
- zero against Switzerland in the opening match of the role of the groups.
Scolari said, "Maybe at this
moment Spain excel on us. They have almost the same team for five or six years now...
won the European Cup twice and the World Cup so they have the advantage."
In response to a question about
the message sent out by Brazil beat Spain to the rest of the world with less
than a year to keep on the establishment of the World Cup finals in the country
Scolari said enthusiastically "a very clear message is that we are on the
right track towards the title in 2014."
Scolari led, the Brazilian team
for the title of the fifth in the World Cup when they beat Germany in the final
in Yokohama on June 30, 2002, and although he said he does not live in the past
and knows the dates investigated by the success, but he confirmed that he will
be delighted of course to achieve another victory on the same date.
"The past is the past ... ended. We should live to this day, but it
would be nice to win in the history of such an exceptional and most importantly
is that I am a believer that we have the players who are able to do so."
