Paulinho, Song - Brazil v Croatia Video highlights

Midfielder Paulinho feels home advantage could help the Brazil side become World Champions. They started with a 3-1 victory over Croatia to open the tournament.

"We know that there will be a lot of pressure on us but all the players who are going to the World Cup understand the responsibility and understand the importance of playing a World Cup in Brazil.

"In fact I think that it’s a positive thing, in our favour, playing in our own country in front of our fans. I think that can be important for us."

Paulinho started for Brazil in the opening game of the 2014 World Cup against Croatia which they won 3-1. Paulinho had a quiet game and was substituted after 63 minutes.




Barcelona want to offload Alex Song who has not come up to the standard they require under two managers but they appear to have priced him out of a move by demanding £19.95 million (€25m). A good player he is not worth that sort of money.
