Scolari seeks Brazil Cup double 12 years apart

By Andrew Downie SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The pressure to win the World Cup on home soil is enormous for Brazil but experienced coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has no qualms about shouldering the burden. Scolari, 65, guided his country to their fifth triumph in the competition 12 years ago and has promised the fans more glory this time round. "I know we must respect other teams but generally speaking we are better." Felipao, as he is known in Brazil, moved back into the hot seat in December 2012 after an interesting world tour of his own on which he coached Portugal for five years as well as having stints with Chelsea in England and Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan. He returned to Brazil for a second spell with Palmeiras before taking over the national team again with the aim of transforming a group of highly promising youngsters into a more coherent unit, and to win back support from the country's demanding fans.
