Brazil will be looking to maintain their defensive invincibility against Peru in Sunday's Copa America final, midfielder Casemiro says.
The hosts have yet to concede a goal in the tournament, including when they thrashed Peru 5-0 in a group-stage match earlier in the competition. And keeping their goal intact will be key to lifting a ninth Copa crown, according to the Real Madrid man.
"Ending the competition without conceding a goal is one of our aims," said Casemiro.
"And if we don't concede a goal, it's not just thanks to the guys at the back, those up front help us a lot and that makes the difference."
"I know him well, I played with him for a bit at Corinthians and I've played against him several times for the national team."
