Santos manager Muricy Ramalho has vowed to stand up to Barcelona and fight fire with fire in the Club World Cup final on Sunday night.
South American champions Santos head into the match at Nissan Stadium looking to do what few have been able to manage in recent years and prevent the Spanish heavyweights from adding to their haul of trophies, but Ramalho is determined not to be intimidated by Pep Guardiola's superstars.
Fellow Brazilians Internacional denied Barcelona by defending deep and hitting on the counterattack to win the title in 2006, but Ramalho is urging his players to be bolder despite the presence, among others, of world player of the year Lionel Messi.
