Italy and Brazil have not met since 1997; however, they will come face-to-face in a friendly game at the Emirates Stadium in London this evening.

Milan ace Ronaldinho is expected to be in the Selecaos starting XI and is hoping to prove his critics wrong after being benched by Carlo Ancelotti for four straight games in Serie A recently.

I am in good shape, Im working well at Milan and I feel better than during my last months at Barcelona, Dinho told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

If I play more consistently, Ill be able to prove myself. Better yet, you will get a glimpse of my condition in the game with Italy. And Ill make a promise: Ill net at least one goal.

Inter will host Milan in the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday night, providing the Rossoneri will a golden opportunity to cut the gap on the leaders to five points.

The season is long, but it would be very important to reduce the gap, admitted the 28-year-old.

The Italian league is tough and its difficult to overcome even the small teams. In the end, the team that has had less ups and downs will prevail.

But there is a positive atmosphere at Milan and I would like to lift some trophies in Italy. We can achieve all of our targets.
