SINGAPORE: Five-time world champions Brazil have never won the Olympic gold medal, but they are determined to win at next month's Beijing Games.
The Brazilians are taking their warm-up games against Singapore and Vietnam seriously before heading to the Chinese capital.
The Brazilians are not wasting any time after arriving in Singapore. They got down to training a day later as Ronaldinho and company are on a mission.
Not surprisingly, the Brazilian Olympic Team know little of their opponents - but they will be doing their homework.
Diego, Midfielder, said: "We know very little about the Singapore team, but we are going to get to know more soon. We are going to watch videos of Singapore games and get to know more about them."
Coach Carlos Dunga said there is little time for the Brazilian team to prepare for the Olympics, and the tune-up in Southeast Asia is crucial.
Despite the big task at hand, the visitors have been gracious, inviting six young Singaporeans to train with them.
The Brazilians are indeed serious about their Olympic preparations. They will be training daily until their match against a Singapore selection side on Monday. - CNA/de
