Brazil arrived at the World Cup on Thursday saying it will be less friendly to fans and the media as it was four years ago.
The players and coaches hope to avoid the euphoria they blame for their elimination in the quarterfinals at Germany 2006.
Brazil moved into its training camp with the usual expectations that accompany the five-time world champions, but coach Dunga quickly made it clear that the team will try to keep as much distance as possible from the hype surrounding them.
