Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has been warned he faces a trip to "hell" if his team flop at the World Cup, as he watched his squad's training complex inaugurated.
Brazilian Football Confederation chairman Jose Maria Marin opened the refurbished Granja Comary base at Teresopolis, a small town just north of Rio, and asked Scolari: "Is that to your liking?"
Scolari, the 2002 World Cup winning coach, replied: "Here we have just the conditions we need for great preparation as we go after our sixth world title."
However, Marin warned the onus was clearly on Brazil to deliver.
"We are in purgatory, as if we win the Cup then we go to heaven; but if we lose then we all go to hell. I've told Felipao that," he revealed.
Felipao, as Scolari is called, will unveil Brazil's 23-man squad on May 7 and the hosts will kick off the World Cup in Sao Paulo on June 12 against Croatia.
Ahead of the tournament, Brazil have friendlies against Panama in the central western city of Goiania on June 3 and Serbia in Sao Paulo on June 6.
