RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 10: Five-time champions Brazil are capable of losing to any team right now, said striker Robinho ahead of Sunday’s World Cup qualifier in Venezuela.
Brazil, winners of all 17 previous meetings against Venezuela, slumped to a shock 2-0 defeat against their South American rivals in Boston in June to spark a form slide that has left coach Dunga’s job in danger.
Dunga’s side have won once in four outings since, beating Chile 3-0 last month and failing to score in the other three games.
“A lot of people don’t treat Venezuela with respect because they don’t have much tradition but we know that nowadays Brazil can lose to any side,” Robinho told reporters. “We have to work with humility and respect.”—Reuters
