Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar has denied any speculations that his teammates will be eyeing revenge when they take on Netherlands in a friendly match tomorrow.
Brazil will host Netherlands at the Estadio Serra Dourada tomorrow in a match that will mark their first meeting since the Dutch knocked Brazil out of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa last year. However, Julio Cesar, who was part of Brazil's team that suffered in that clash at South Africa last year, has played down speculations of revenge this time around.
Brazil are keen to use this friendly as a strong part of their preparation ahead of the Copa America next month and Cesar was quick to justify that this was far more crucial then just revenge.
"It's not a rematch. The World Cup is a unique competition. .I felt a lot that defeat - we all did.
"This is a valuable match for us. It's good for the new coach (Mano Menezes) to watch the team.
"We have the Copa America ahead and as we won't have the qualifiers this time for the next World Cup, it's more difficult for them to build the team."
Brazil are likely to start with Robinho and Leandro Damiao as there are fitness concerns over starlet, Neymar after his exertions with Santos in the Copa Libertadores.
