Brazil's quest for their 6th World Cup trophy gets under way only a week from now. On the 13th of June, the "Selecao" will begin their World Cup against Croatia. To everyone who knows a little bit of football, it's more than obvious that Parreira's team is, by far, this edition's favorite. Despite the coach's statements, who said that Germany, Italy and England are the main teams to expect a final victory, we all know that's not true.

And Ronaldinho wants to make sure that Brazil will be there when the dices will be thrown. In order to make that happen, he admitted that his team will have a lot of work to do, since most of the teams will play defensively against the "Cariocas".

"Every team we play regardless of their normal style of play defend against us. We are mindful that it is difficult to score goals in that case. The others play tight at the back and will wait to hit us on the counter-attack", said the Barcelona play-maker.

And he is right. Considering the fact that their group stage will see Brazil take on teams like Croatia, Australia or Japan - who do whatever it takes to make sure they qualify for the knock-out stages - we will most likely be seeing all the action on their part of the field.

Ronaldinho also launched a cry of help towards the World cup referees who are to whistle their games. He stated that Brazil will need whatever help they can get from them, especially since the other teams' defenders will play as rough as possible: "All the teams are waiting for us and will be doubly alert in paying attention to our attack. It's vital the refereeing is rigorous because of our style of playing".
