随着2006年德国世界杯的临近，世界冠军巴西队也日益成为了人们心目中的第一大夺冠热门队伍。对此，巴西队主教练佩雷拉感到无比担忧，他认为如果巴西队希望梦想成真，第6次夺得世界冠军的话，队中那些世界级的球星们就必须在比赛中彻底抛弃“个人主义”。

　　据路透社11月29日报道，佩雷拉在接受记者采访时表示：“如果我们不能很好地控制球员们的个人主义情绪，巴西队将肯定不能第6次夺冠。目前，我们面临的最大挑战就是让这些世界级大牌球星同球队融合到一起，为一个共同的目标而奋斗。”

　　对于外界一致将巴西队当成明年世界杯的夺冠热门，佩雷拉也表达了自己的担忧。“很多热门队伍后来都没有夺冠，比如1954年的匈牙利队及1974年的荷兰队。”他说：“在德国世界杯上，我们将面对14支欧洲球队，另外还有阿根廷队。每支球队都希望击败巴西队，因为如果我们真的第6次夺冠，这样的成绩将会使我们同其他球队拉开一个极大的距离。”

　　Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has told his players to leave their egos at home when they attempt to win their sixth World Cup in Germany next year.

　　"If we can't control the egos of these players, then Brazil will certainly not win the Hexa (sixth world title)," he told reporters on Tuesday.

　　"This is our big challenge, to bring together players who are international stars and convince them to work towards this common target."

　　Parreira also warned against the dangers of being considered hot favourites.

　　"A lot of favourites didn't win the title, such as Hungary in 1954 and the Netherlands in 1974," he said.

　　"It will be 14 European teams against Brazil and Argentina.

　　"Everyone will especially be against Brazil because if we win a sixth title, that's going to put a big difference between us and the rest and they'll need 200 or 300 years to catch up."
