Winning ugly will do for us - Fabiano

Brazilian striker Luis Fabiano said yesterday that his country's main objective was to win their sixth World Cup title and if they had to do it in ugly fashion they would do so.

The 29-year-old Sevilla forward - who also wants to finish as the tournament's top scorer - said that it was pointless playing pretty football if they came away without the trophy.

"If it is necessary to play dirty to win, we will do it, what counts at the World Cup is to win," said Fabiano at Brazil's training camp.

"I am at a stage where I want to achieve several goals.

"I have already achieved one which is to be here with the squad.

"Above all the most important target is to be crowned champions. To be leading scorer is a consequence of those efforts during the whole tournament," added Fabiano, who has formed a potent strike partnership with Robinho since 2007.

Brazil, who topped the South American qualifying group, are in Group G, the group of 'death', along with 2006 semi-finalists Portugal, Ivory Coast and North Korea, who they play first up on June 15.
