Brazil defender Marquinhos insists reputations will count for nothing in Wednesday's crunch Copa America clash against Haiti.
The five-time World Cup winners have a point to prove in their second Group B fixture after they were held to a goalless draw with Ecuador on Saturday night.
Brazil were even fortunate to avoid defeat after their goalkeeper Alisson spilled Miller Bolanos' effort into his own net, only for the goal to be ruled out.
The stalemate leaves Brazil trailing in the standings behind Peru, who beat Haiti in their opening game, and Marquinhos says there is no room for complacency in their next encounter.
``We had good ball possession versus Ecuador,'' Marquinhos said.
``Ecuador's controlled defence gave us problems in our counter-attacks.
``We had a few goal-scoring opportunities that were wasted, we can't let that happen with Haiti.
``We need to respect our opponent and know that nothing is given to us just because we are Brazil. We need to perform and we need to earn all the points we get.''
Brazil struggled for attacking inspiration against Ecuador and appeared to miss star player Neymar, who is saving himself for the Olympic Games in August.
Dunga's men are aiming to win their ninth Copa America title but they have not triumphed in the competition since 2007.
Haiti need at least a draw on Wednesday to avoid elimination ahead of their final group fixture against Ecuador.
``There is no such thing as an easy game in the Copa America,'' Marquinhos added.
``We are focused on getting a positive result versus a Haiti team that played very well versus Peru.''
