Thiago Silva believes that there can be no doubting the difficulty of the challenge ahead of Brazil when they take on Croatia next Thursday.

Thiago Silva has admitted that he is expecting a tough test from Croatia next Thursday after Brazil recorded victory in their final warm-up match ahead of the World Cup.

Fred's goal earned the hosts a 1-0 win over Serbia on Friday night, but Silva believes that there can be no room for complacency as they prepare for the opening game of the tournament.

"Today we had a lot difficulty in the first half and this served to show us how much more difficult it will be against Croatia," the Paris Saint-Germain defender told reporters.

"Croatia should play the same way [as Serbia]. We must be very careful, learn our lessons from this game and believe that our opening match will be very complicated."

Brazil will also meet Cameroon and Mexico in Group A.
