Maradona's men reacted to pre-tournament criticism by getting off to a great start in South Africa, with an impressive display in the 1-0 win over Nigeria followed by an accomplished performance in the 4-1 victory over Korea Republic. And with only a point required, against final group rivals Greece, to guarantee qualification, Maradona has sought to ease the pressure on his stars by claiming that Carlos Dunga's Selecao are still the favourites. "We aren't either candidates or favourites, we're here to play a World Cup," said Maradona. "I don't want to be favourites, not before coming to South Africa and not now. "All the teams here can score against you, so you have to be wary all the time. "We just want to be the same as normal. We're here to keep our fans happy, to play the way we want to play, and I think things so far are going well. "Brazil can play badly but still win games, that's why they are still the great favourites." Source: Soccerway.com
