As part of the Brazilian team second round, while things look almost settled for his opponent in tomorrow's game because he is ahead of Ivory Coast only have to extract the second card behind nine goals, and thus would be difficult for the African side initially compensate for this large difference.
Brazil needs only a draw to ensure top of the group, while no substitute for Portugal to win the Pan American team south. It will be Brazil playmaker Kaka largely absent from the match after being sent off in the last game against Ivory Coast after receiving a Cefaruwan cards, thus will not be able to cope with teammate at Real Madrid in the other party's Cristiano Ronaldo.

He confirmed that a lot of competition between the teams and Brazilian Portuguese, saying "Of course, tough competition in the end, the squad includes three Brazilian players of Brazilian origin (Deco and Liedson and Pepe).
Most probably that Elano, who scored twice in the tournament so far will move to play in the midfield playmaker Kaka instead of in the event recovered from a shin injury, to play a place of Elano, Daniel Alves on the right. Another solution, however, coach Carlos Dunga is the involvement of Nilmar along with Luis Fabiano in the line provided and re-Robinho to the role of playmaker.
Unbeaten team Portugal in their last 17 games over the past two years, and another loss for the return to Brazil in particular, as a result of harsh 2-6, note as the last time the Portuguese national team conceded six goals and before that was in the year 1955.

We need to make a match of that kind, but We must not forget we have not won anything yet. We must now resolve is to qualify. "
