Script:

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Victor, Brazil Goalkeeper: (On whether the team is affected mentally)

"People have been using the crying as if it was a burden. I don't see it that way. My view is that the players have been living this World Cup in a very intense way. Some players might show it through crying. It's not a bad thing. It's a way one finds to motivate himself. An example is (goalkeeper) Julio Cesar, who cried before the penalty shootout and did what he did. Again, I don't see it in a negative way, I see it as intensity, pride to represent over 200 million inhabitants."

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Victor, Brazil Goalkeeper: (On Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina and his team)

"Undoubtedly, (David) Ospina is a great goalkeeper. I haven't spoken about him before but he's a very secure, skilful, with good ball control with his feet. Colombia is very skilful as well, speedy. They are great at the moment. We will have to study all their points to produce a great game. I am sure it will be a tough match. They have been playing together for quite some time. They took second place in the World Cup qualifiers and that shows you how strong they are."

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Victor, Brazil Goalkeeper: (On whether Brazil were lucky in defeating Chile)

"I see that, when that ball from Chilean striker hit the crossbar at the 119th minute of the game, that was a good sign that Brazil has some luck and is having things in its favour, of course, adding to the competence and the way our players are knitting together. I think that Brazil will play this game (against Colombia) with great mental strength, knowing that we need to think step by step and face every game as if it was the final match."
