Brazil has one hand on trophy-Parreira

Confidence high as host side seeks to make amends for shock loss in 1950

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's right-hand man said on Monday Brazil was good enough to win the World Cup and already had "one hand on the trophy".

Asked what he had learned in previous World Cups, from his backroom role in Brazil's 1970 triumph to his success at the 1994 finals, Carlos Alberto Parreira said getting things right off the field was crucial.
