Intro:

Edin Dzeko and the rest of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team conducted a brief first training session under the floodlights at the local stadium in Guaruja, Brazil on Friday.

Script:

Bosnia and Herzegovina began their preparations for the World Cup on Friday, following their arrival in Sao Paulo.

The local municipal stadium in Guaruja played host to Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, who carries the hopes of his country on his shoulders.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have never qualified for the World Cup before and there is pressure on their best player, Dzeko, to deliver at their first tournament.

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is also in the squad, and should provide the safety at the back.

Managed by former Paris Saint-Germain legend Safet Susic, the team are expected to qualify from Group F, which also includes Argentina, Iran and Nigeria.

But it hasn't all been plain sailing for Susic's team - Dzeko was booed for his performance following a 2-0 friendly loss to Egypt back in March.

Argentina will be Bosnia and Herzegovina's first opponent's at the iconic Maracana in Rio de Janeiro on the 15th of June.
