Brazil striker Robinho is already setting his sights on the Selecao's next Group G opponents following his side's 2-1 defeat of North Korea Tuesday in their World Cup opener at a freezing Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, dpa reported.
Robinho, who set up Elano for Brazil's second after Maicon opened the scoring, before Ji Yun Nam scored a late consolation goal, said there was plenty more to come from the five-time world champions, starting on Monday against the West Africans.
"I think we will improve for the second game. I'm sure of that. And people can expect us to play with a great will and that we represent our country well," Robinho said.
Brazil expected a more comfortable victory for the national team against lowly North Korea but struggled in the first half, before Maicon broke the deadlock 10 minutes after the break.
However, Robinho noted that the match was hard, not because it was very cold but because the North Koreans "played very far back."
"What we wanted was to start with a win, and thank God we achieved it," he said.
