Intro:

Brazil head coach Dunga looks ahead to his side's international match against Japan in Singapore.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Dunga, head coach (on concerns over the pitch conditions in Singapore):

"I can't really says what's going to happen because it depends on how the match is played. But, of course, there is a greater chance of injury on this pitch because there is a lot of sand. I hope that this will not create holes in the pitch during the match. But it is a risk we have to take. However, I cannot say whether it will cause any injuries or not.

"I will first talk to the players to see the level of their tiredness. But if they are ready, I'm not going to change my line-up. We have five new starting players in the new lineup and they have played together for four games. In my mind there is no point in changing and replacing players all the time because I need to allow them to create a feeling of confidence that they can play together as a team."
