ランバート氏、ブラジルはスコットランドにとって「恐れる必要はない」と発言
元ミッドフィールダーのポール・ランバートは、スティーブ・クラーク監督率いるスコットランド代表が歴史を塗り替えるべく、今夜のワールドカップの重要な一戦でブラジルを恐れる必要はないと訴えた。カルロ・アンチェロッティ監督率いるブラジル相手に勝ち点1を獲得できれば、スコットランドは主要大会のグループリーグを初めて突破できる可能性がほぼ確実であり、僅差での敗北でも突破できるかもしれない。
Former midfielder Paul Lambert has urged Scotland not to fear Brazil in tonight's crucial World Cup showdown as Steve Clarke's men bid to become history makers.
A point against Carlo Ancelotti's side will almost certainly be enough for Scotland to progress from the group stage of a major tournament for the first time, while a narrow defeat could also be enough.
Lambert told BBC Radio Scotland: "We're a small nation and Brazil's an iconic footballing country.
"Don't bother who you're playing against, that's the key to it. If you're going to worry about them then you lose focus on your own game.
"We've got enough players in the Scotland squad that have played in big games before, they shouldn't be overwhelmed by Brazil just because of their names or the shirts they're wearing.
"You certainly don't fear them, you go for them, and they're not the most resilient team I've seen. The front three could definitely be a threat, but there's nothing to be frightened of.
"Any one-off game you can win. You can cause them trouble, because we will get chances, whether it's a set-play or something.
"There's no reason why we can't cause an upset."
