Chelsea midfielder Oscar wants Mexico gold medal revenge

Chelsea midfielder Oscar says he'll be looking for revenge on Mexico after Brazil's Olympic gold medal defeat.

Oscar will use the contrasting recent memories as he looks to help guide Brazil closer to a place in the knockout stages.

"Of course I was very sad (after the Olympic defeat)," he said.

"It is a medal that Brazil have never won and we lost the final. Mexico are a very good team. It will certainly be as difficult as last year. In the World Cup there is an extra desire to win and I hope we can do so again this time.

"Mexico are a very different side to Croatia. They play the ball out from the back well and are very good on the counter-attack."
