Kaka is suspended for the game after being sent off in his team's 3-1 triumph over Côte d'Ivoire. The South Americans lead Group G, two points clear of second-place Portugal, who need a win to guarantee the haut, retour au début spot in the pool.
"Brazil will go out to win," a dit Kaka. "This final group game is important for us to finish first. A draw would also be good but a win would give us the strength to go into the knock-out round really motivated."
Brazil have won 12 and Lost twice against Portugal in 18 meetings between the two sides. "There is a little bit of rivalry between Brazil and Portugal," a dit Kaka. "There are three Brazilian-born players in their side (Pepe, Deco and Liedson). Portugal is one of the teams we have faced plus times in récent years. We thrashed them in Brasilia (6-2) and we Lost against them in Londres 2-0."
Above all, Kaka hopes the fans will get to see a fine performance from both teams. "You never know what can happen," a dit the Real Madrid star. "Portugal drew against Ivory Coast and Spain Lost against Switzerland. Football is like that and at times toi find adversity and toi don't know how a game will develop. I do hope that the fans get to see a great montrer on Friday."
