Egypt coach Hassan Shehata knows everything about Brazil, the team he doesn't fear, ahead of Monday's Confederations Cup meeting. The Pharaohs will face a stiff test when they play five-time world champions Brazil in Group B opener. "I hope that my team produce a fine display, especially that we know everything about Brazil. We know their points of strength very well," Shehata told a press conference on Sunday. "Brazil are a very strong team but we are also the reigning African champions." Title holders Brazil are one of the favorites to lift the trophy while Egypt seek consolation in the eight-team tournament following their slow start to the World Cup qualifiers. The five-time African champions were held to a 1-1 home draw by Zambia before suffering a shocking 3-1 defeat at Algeria in their first two games of the qualifiers' final phase. "We do not fear Brazil despite the difficulties we faced lately," Shehata added. Brazil coach Dunga, on the other hand, is taking nothing for granted as he warned his players against underestimating Egypt. "Egypt are a good team, they managed to win the Nations Cup two times in a row," he said. "I watched some games for Egypt and told my players to take the match very seriously."
