“The last time I wore the shirt of the Brazilian team we inaugurated the three stars above the crest.
“Now we have five. I can’t wait to add the sixth star,” he wrote.
Brazil are top of the FIFA rankings going into the tournament and their superb unbeaten run in qualifying have made them the bookmakers’ favourites.
They begin their campaign against Serbia on 24 November. They also face Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.
