Brazil set out on quest for sixth World Cup
Brazil were accorded a low key send off here as they left for Europe on a quest to claim a sixth World Cup.
For the first time Carlos Parreira’s defending champions flew out for a World Cup finals without any official leaving ceremony.
The plane carrying the South Americans to their training camp in Switzerland was decked out with five stars representing each of their world titles in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.
Real Madrid striker Robinho, competing in his first World Cup, said: “Ever since I was a kid I’ve dreamt of playing for the national side and I’m very happy.”
Brazil will be based in the Swiss town of Weggis up to June 3 when they will move to Germany and their base for the June 9-July 9 finals at Konigstein im Taurus near Frankfurt.
