Brazil cancelled a planned training session on Monday after an exhausting journey back from their World Cup qualifier in Venezuela, which started with a three-hour bus journey along twisting mountain roads.

Brazil eased past Venezuela in the world cup qualifier, thanks to a brace by Robinho.

Two goals from Robinho and one each from Kaka and Adriano give Brazil an easy win in their World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Pueblo Nuevo.

Brazil striker Robinho has launched a late attempt to lower the fans’ expectations ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifier with Venezuela.

Brazilian forward Ronaldo, who is battling to regain full fitness, has received an offer to join Paris Saint-Germain but has also not ruled out a future partnership with Robinho at Manchester City.
