A Brazil superstar has commented on facing bitter rivals Argentina in the Copa America semi-finals on Wednesday, revealing why he thinks Albiceleste duo Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero will find the going tough against the Selecao.
Tite's charges, who are seeking their first Copa triumph since 2007 and their ninth title overall, have not conceded a goal in their past six games across all competitions.
As the host nation, Brazil have managed to score eight goals without reply in their four matches en route to the semi-finals, which is why Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is confident of his side's chances of advancing to the final.

"It's tough to get behind a defence that doesn't concede goals," he said, as per Marca.
"It's also a long time since we conceded a goal. It's very important to have a solid defence.
"But it won't be easy for Argentina to get behind us. Obviously, they have Messi, who is the best player in the world, and they have Aguero, one of the best centre-forwards, but they're going to have to sweat to get in behind.
"These are two giants, from countries with a lot of history. We're playing at home and we have more pressure to win, but it's a 'clasico' against Argentina."
The last side to find the back of the net against Brazil was the Czech Republic in a 3-1 defeat in March.
The South American giants will go head to head at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto on Wednesday morning, with kick-off set for 02:30 SA time.
