Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari says his side have what it takes to beat the world champions in today's Confederations Cup final showdown in Rio.
"I don't consider Spain the favourites. In the last six years they have imposed themselves and won so many titles fielding virtually the same team and so that can maybe be an advantage.
"But we have something important in Brazil - which is that we have established credibility with our fans by reaching the final. We have been dreaming since the start of getting to the final and winning it."
Much has been made of how the Spanish are the team who have swept all before them in winning a World Cup and two European Championships.
But Scolari vowed his side would impose their own style, a more compact and disciplined version of some Brazilian teams past. That is not music to the ears of all Brazilians - but Scolari says he will impose his way regardless.
