The 29-year-old's role will be doubly important because of the absence of his AC Milan team-mate Kaka due to injury.

"We have already played without Kaka and we did all right," said Dunga. "We have Ronaldinho, who is an outstanding player.

"Any coach in the world would love to have him in his squad.

"When he has the ball he will have absolute freedom. His creativity makes him indispensable."

Second-placed Brazil will have the altitude to cope with as they visit Quito, where the Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa is located 2,850 metres above sea level.

And Ecuador coach Sixto Vizuete hopes to take advantage by stifling their illustrious opponents.

He said: "We're very motivated. The squad is united and we'll be aggressive, in the good sense of the word.

"We're going to put pressure on the midfield. I want to suffocate Brazil.

"We're going to use the first 20 minutes to put pressure on, because they will be adapting to the altitude."

Ecuador defender and captain Ivan Hurtado wants his side to make the most of home advantage.source:espnstar.com
