Parreira's fear

AP, Rio de Janeiro
Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira says his team wants to avoid teams such as the Czech Republic and the Netherlands in next month's World Cup draw.
The five-time Cup champions are favourites to win a sixth title in Germany next year, but Brazil's chances could depend on the draw in Leipzig on December 9 that determines the eight first-round groups, Parreira was quoted as saying in daily newspaper O Globo on Friday.
"We'd better be lucky," Parreira said.
"The so-called intermediate teams aren't afraid of the big powers. They play as equals."
He cited former champions Argentina, England, Italy and hosts Germany among the favourites -- but said the tournament promised surprises.
"All the great European teams, except Denmark, will be there," Parreira said.
"I consider the Czech Republic a super team. The Netherlands are back and always has great teams. England have their strongest side in years."
Brazil thrashed the United Arab Emirates 8-0 last week in their final friendly of the year. Parreira, however,
wanted to face a stronger team but the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF) couldn't find one.
"I always ask the CBF to arrange the most complicated games possible," he said. "But ... there's always a big problem with dates for other teams."
Parreira said England and the Czech Republic had turned down proposals for a friendly on March 1, and that Brazil were still looking for a team to play.
Parreira also said he would attend Saturday's Spanish league match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, when many top Brazilian stars will be playing. Among them are Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Julio Baptista, Robinho and Edmilson -- all likely members of the World Cup squad.
"It's always good to watch them play. Robinho, for instance, will have his most important game since he went to Spain," Parreira said.
Rising star Robinho is competing for a starting slot on Brazil's impressive strike force. His rivals are Ronaldo and Inter Milan's Adriano, with Ronaldinho and AC Milan's Kaka completing an attack that Brazilians call the "magic square."
Parreira also endorsed the choice of Ronaldinho, the 2004 FIFA Player of the Year, for the coveted Golden Ball award.
"He represents the best of Brazilian soccer: quality and skill," Parreira said.
"Speed, strength and defence are accessories in soccer. Talent is what makes the difference.”
