The Selecao begin their title defence against Egypt in Bloemfontein tomorrow, four years after claiming the crown with victory over Argentina in Germany.

Dunga's men come into the tournament in confident mood with the team perched at the top of the South American World Cup qualifying zone following wins over Uruguay and Paraguay earlier this month.

Luis Fabiano missed the clash with Paraguay through suspension and the Sevilla striker is keen to make amends with plenty of goals in the Confederations Cup.

"If Brazil reach the final and I play all five matches, I think scoring a goal a game would be a good average," he said on www.gazetaesportiva.net.

However, he is quick to point out his personal success will count for little if Brazil fail to defend their crown.

"My scoring record will mean nothing if Brazil fall in the semi-finals for example," he added.

"The most important thing is to win the Confederations Cup. I will try to help out with goals, but if they don't come I will provide support some other way.

"If I have the chance to provide the ammunition, though, I will be very happy.

"This is a chance to show I can be the first-choice striker. I'm not aiming to be the success story of the tournament or the team, I just want to win the title.

"We are a team and that way everyone wins."

As well as going for glory, coach Dunga also wants the tournament to be a team-building exercise and has promised every member of his 23-man squad some playing time.

"They all have to be prepared as no doubt they will all have the opportunity to play," he said.

"We have plenty of time and this is a good way to get to know the players and how they behave in certain situations.

"It is also the best way to get to know the squad and improve their relationships."

Opponents Egypt would probably prefer not to meet an in-form Brazil side with their own World Cup qualifying campaign struggling to get off the ground.

A 3-1 loss to Algeria last week has left the Pharaohs at the foot of Group C with just a point from their two matches.

To make matters worse, they will be without star striker Amr Zaki for the Confederations Cup after he suffered a hamstring injury.

Coach Hassan Shehata has warned his side must not be in awe of Group B rivals Brazil tomorrow.

"Egypt cannot afford to fear Brazil in our opener because if we enter the first match with such a feeling, we will show the same fear against the other teams," he told www.fifa.com.
