儘管巴西隊1-0擊敗克羅地亞隊，澳大利亞隊隊長維杜卡説道，“巴西隊在對陣克羅地亞中的糟糕表現表明巴西隊是脆弱的。”他還説道，“克羅地亞隊在那場比賽中應該獲得了一些東西，他們才是表現得好的多隊伍。”

　　在被問及在6月17日于慕尼黑即將進行的澳大利亞隊巴西隊的比賽時，維杜卡表示，“我不知道星期六會發生些什麼，但是他們（巴西隊）並不是超級英雄，也不是其他的類似於此種角色的人，他們跟我們一樣同樣是球員，我們為什麼不能擊敗他們呢？”

　　原文：Brazil are vulnerable, says Aussie skipper Viduka

　　OHRINGEN (AFP) - Brazil showed in their hard-pressed 1-0 World Cup win over Croatia that they are vulnerable, Australian skipper Mark Viduka has said.

　　Australia shape up to the might of the five-times champions Brazil in their second match in Group F in Munich on Sunday, but Viduka is taking heart from what he saw of the Brazilian opening performance against Croatia in Berlin last Tuesday.

　　"The game against Croatia showed that they are vulnerable in places," Viduka told reporters at team training.

　　"I thought Croatia should have got something out of that game, I thought they were the better team."

　　Viduka was asked if Australia could exploit the Brazilian defence out wide as Croatia did down the flanks.

　　"I don't know what to expect on Sunday, but they are not superheroes or anything like that, they're people like us and why not?" he said.

　　Viduka said it was a concern that Australia gave away four yellow cards in their exhilarating 3-1 win over Japan last Sunday.

　　"That's a bit of a concern for us, because a few of them were given out quite lightly, but we have to keep every man available for every game and we'll see how (coach) Guus Hiddink is going to re-arrange the team," he said.

　　Viduka said every game at the World Cup was a crunch one for the Australians, making their first finals' appearance in 32 years.

　　"You saw in the Japan game it was end-to-end stuff, in these games it's not like a league or anything, you have to go for it and that means you could vulnerable as well. I think we have to go for it (against Brazil)."

　　Viduka said the manner of Australia's win over Japan, with their three goals coming inside the last eight minutes in energy-sapping heat in Kaiserslautern, had given his team a massive lift in confidence.

　　"To get the three points in the first game against Japan and in the manner that we did do it gave everybody a big high afterwards," he said.

　　Australia travel to Munich later Friday.
