Luiz Felipe Scolari is not hiding his optimism with Brazil's chance to win the World Cup title at home. The coach has been saying loud and clear that it will be Brazil lifting the trophy at the Maracana Stadium in a few months.
Scolari says everything is going Brazil's way heading into the tournament and there is no reason not to think that the hosts can be successful in the June tournament.
"We are playing at home, we have the fans on our side and a team which is competitive and has a lot of quality," Scolari said. "We have everything that allows us to be the best team. That's why I fully trust that we can make it to the final and be the champion."
Scolari made his comments during a FIFA-run workshop with representatives of the 32 teams that will play in the World Cup. More than 20 coaches attended the event in the southern city of Florianopolis to discuss the organisational aspects of the tournament.
