Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari admits his side is becoming more afraid as they prepare to face Chile in the first of the World Cup knock-out matches.

The South American rivals meet on Saturday (KO 17.00 BST) with Scolari aware there is no margin for error."It is normal for us to be anxious, especially now in the knockout stage where we cannot lose," he said."We become more afraid, more nervous. It is normal. Not because it is in Brazil, but because it is a World Cup."He added: "You only get the chance to get to the final if you win."Host nation Brazil won two and drew one of their group games to qualify comfortably for the last 16, with star man Neymar scoring four goals in the three games.But Chile were also impressive in wins over Australia and Spain to book their passage from Group B.And Scolari, who led Brazil to World Cup success in 2002, said shortly after the draw for the tournament was made last December that one of the opponents he would least like to face would be Chile."I'd rather play any of the others. They're a pain to play against," said the former Chelsea coach.(BBC)Bakudaily.az
