Berlin, June 13 (DPA) Australia's heroics against Japan have not gone unnoticed in the Brazil camp as the World Champions prepare for their opening match.
Star footballer Ronaldinho said: 'Without doubt it's a warning for us because it showed that they are very strong physically. Everyone is at a similar level and we have to keep our concentration throughout. We can't afford to be distracted for even a second.'
Brazil fullback Cicinho added: 'We when we left the game, Japan were winning 1-0 - it was a shock to find out the score.'
Less surprised was Brazil boss Carlos Alberto who said: 'Australia are here because they beat Uruguay, so we know they are strong.'
