Brazil coach Mano Menezes refuses to accept his side's below-par performance against Paraguay in the Copa America group stages will have any bearing on their quarter-final outing against the same opposition.
The Selecao made it to the knockout stage despite a slow start to the continental tournament, which saw the five-time World Cup winners open with draws against Venezuela and Paraguay before a 4-2 win over Ecuador sealed their passage.
Brazil needed a last-minute goal from Fred to salvage a 2-2 draw with the Paraguayans in their first meeting, but Menezes expects an improved showing tomorrow - particularly from his backline.
