斯科拉里：巴西一隻手已經觸碰到了冠軍獎盃

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari says his team have one hand on the World Cup as he rounded angrily on his critics ahead of Friday's quarter-final against Colombiain Fortaleza.

Scolari insisted during a tense news conference that the 2002 World Cup winnersare on course to reclaim the trophy on home soil.

“Our supporters want us to tell them what we want, how we want to win and how we are going to get it. We continue with the same speech”

"Does Brazil continue to have one hand on the trophy? Yes," he said.

"We are going on to the fifth step and there are seven steps."

Scolari has been criticised by former players, including 1970 World Cup winning captain Carlos Alberto, for his use of sports psychologist Regina Brandao.

Brandao, who has worked regularly with Scolari, visited the Brazil camp after several of the players broke down in tears during the national anthem, and also after the penalty shoot-out win against Chile in the last 16.

He said: "It was scheduled and organised. She will come again on Sunday and Monday. She has participated in a very nice way and I will tell you I don't think she makes us win.

"She isn't paid anything to do this. I admire psychologists. You can try to seek more information."

The 65-year-old, who led Brazil to 2002 World Cup success in Japan and South Korea,also took issue with members of the media who were excluded from a briefing with him earlier this week, telling them: "If you don't like it, go to hell."

And Scolari repeated the optimistic messages he delivered about Brazil's hopes before the World Cup, saying: "Don't forget those statements. They were all fantastic - those statements could not be any different.

"Our population, our supporters, don't expect any different.

"They want us to tell them what we want, how we want to win and how we are going to get it. We continue with the same speech."巴西隊主教練斯科拉里說他的隊伍一隻手已經觸碰到了冠軍獎盃，在對陣哥倫比亞的賽前的新聞發佈會上，他憤怒地指責那些批評巴西隊的人。

據英國廣播公司網站報道，新聞發佈會擠滿了記者，斯科拉里說，2002年世界盃冠軍巴西有望在本屆世界盃在本土收回獎盃。

“我們的球迷粉絲支持者，希望我們告訴他們，什麼是我們想要的。我們想怎樣贏，我們會怎樣拿下冠軍獎盃。我們一直記着賽前的奪冠宣言。”

“巴西一隻手已經觸碰到了冠軍獎盃了嗎？是的。”他說道。

“總共7關，我們已經闖到第5關了。”斯科拉里由於在賽前請了心理專家，受到了前巴西國腳的質疑，包括1970年世界盃冠軍隊隊長卡洛斯·阿爾貝託。

定期與斯科拉里一起工作的心理醫生布蘭道（Brandao），在巴西球員點球大戰險勝智利，淚灑賽場後，立即訪問了巴西訓練營地。

斯科拉里說:“這是計劃上和組織上安排的。週日和週一她還會再來。她的加入了對於我們來說是非常好的消息，我會告訴你我不認爲有了她的到來，我們就能贏。”

“她過來工作是沒有薪酬的，我很佩服心理學家。你們可以去試着找找其他信息。”

這位已經65歲，帶領巴西在2002年韓日世界盃奪冠的老帥，也在賽前新聞發佈會上對媒體記者爆粗口。告訴記者說：“如果你們不喜歡我這樣，就去死吧。”

斯科拉里再次重申 ：“不要忘記這些話，他們都是了不起的——這些話永遠不變。”

“我們的國民，我們的支持者，不希望我們出任何岔子。他們希望我們告訴他們，什麼是我們想要的。我們想怎樣贏，我們會怎樣拿下冠軍獎盃。我們一直記着賽前的奪冠宣言。”
