Brazil take on Germany in the Olympic men’s football final on Saturday in a repeat of the 2014 World Cup semi-final.

Germany claimed an incredible 7-1 victory over host nation Brazil two years ago in Belo Horizonte, condemning the South American giants to the most infamous defeat in their history.

Brazil have a chance for redemption, again on home soil, on Saturday as they bid for a first ever Olympic gold medal but head coach Rogerio Micale says revenge is not on the minds of his players as they prepare to face Germany at the Maracana.

Micale was quick to point out the Olympic squad is totally different from the side who were stunned by the eventual champions at the Estadio Mineirao, as even Neymar wasn’t involved due to injury in 2014.

“That was the World Cup. This is the Olympic team,” Micale told a media conference.

“Neymar never played in that match so there is nothing that could generate any type of feeling that we have to take revenge.

It is a different time with different players and ages.

“The supporters are playing their role and we will need the supporters as this is a very strong German team.

The supporters will want what they want, but there is no link between that match and this one.

“I am sure the final with Germany will be a great match but it has nothing to do with the past.”

Brazil are 2.10 to win the match or 19.00 to win 3-0. A victory for Germany is available at 3.40 and a draw is 3.30.
