Chelsea midfielder Oscar concedes massive expectations on Brazil

Chelsea midfielder Oscar concedes there's great expectations on Brazil's players.

But Oscar believes there's great hunger inside the squad to match the greatness of past teams.

"Of the players who were getting called up this year, only Ronaldinho and Kaka have been involved at a World Cup when Brazil have won. There are one or two others who've been to a World Cup and not won, like Robinho and Julio Cesar.

"We all realise that we'll only be as good as past generations if we're able to win as past generations did. Felipao [manager Luiz Felipe Scolari] has won before, of course and we have to try and join him now."
