The Real Madrid midfielder added, “We have faced Brazil before on several occasions and not won. We believe this can change.

“We’ll have to play at a high tempo, keep them under control, be strong and assertive and not let them out of sight. As I say, Brazil is the favorite – but we’ve seen that even the favorites can be beaten.
