RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazils new coach is tearing up South American World Cup qualifying. In six matches in charge, Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- known universally as Tite (pronounced Chi-Chi) -- has won all six.Now hes offering to challenge Europes best, including defending champion Germany, as the five-time World Cup winners prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where they are likely to be among the favorites.Lets play against Italy away, Tite said Monday in a 35-minute interview with The Associated Press. Spain, Germany, Portugal away.Tite also mentioned playing England at Wembley, which he called the temple of football.Tite, speaking in his modest office surrounded by TVs, a blackboard, and books, said he didnt expect his teams quick success. But now that its come and with Brazil not playing in next years Confederations Cup -- the World Cup warmup -- he must look elsewhere.Since we wont play in the Confederations Cup to feel the heat, the adrenaline, we will try another way. He said Brazil needs to play away so we feel that weight. So we have a solid performance in different venues.Tite is certainly interested in Germany, which humiliated Brazil 7-1 in the World Cup semifinals 2 + years ago in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte.The first step is to play a friendly against them, wherever they want in Germany, he said.The European schedule could become a reality quickly. Brazil, which leads South American qualifying, could officially qualify for Russia in its next two qualifiers in March against Uruguay and Paraguay.Brazil defeated Argentina 3-0 and Peru 2-0 in its last two qualifiers in November, and moved to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Argentina.Brazil has become less dependent on Barcelona star Neymar in the last few matches since Tite took over after Dunga was fired.In the meantime, he has discovered several rising stars that have made Brazil a team -- not a one-player show.If Brazil depends only on Neymar there will be a problem with Brazil, not with Neymar, Tite explained. Brazil needs the individual creativity of Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, Douglas Costa. But it needs the collective creativity that sometimes people dont pay attention to.Tite also said that Neymars clash with Spanish tax authorities was personal though he added that theres not much he can do about it.Tite is counting on improvement from his No. 9, 19-year-old Gabriel Jesus, who is moving to Manchester City in January from Brazil club Palmeiras. He expects him to be as good in Europe as hes been in Brazil.His level of performance will be very similar, with some tactical adjustments, of course, Tite said.Asked about investigations into CBF President Marco Polo del Nero, who has been indicted by U.S. authorities for corruption, Tite said those responsible are the ones that have to pay.He declined to say more, but last year he signed a petition asking for Del Nero to resign.Tite will be on the road in the next few days. On Thursday he is off to Spain to see Barcelona play Real Madrid. A big believer in scouting his players, he also expects to watch Brazilian players at Paris Saint-Germain.The former coach of Sao Paulo club Corinthians, Tite is also a student of the game. He is reading former Manchester United manager Alex Fergusons autobiography, and the copy already is full of footnotes and notations.But his main inspiration is Bayern Munichs coach Carlo Ancelotti, who allowed him to be an observer in 2014 at Real Madrid.Ancelottis teams are more balanced, Tite said. Its a more Italian defense and creativity from the midfield forward. I admire his work and also his discreet profile. I am also like that.When he is not working, Tite clings to his family in Rio. His son Matheus is one of his key scouts. And his wife Rose keeps him down to earth during their early morning walks.Hes also thinking beyond the 2018 World Cup. But he suggested nothing will be as exciting as the next 19 months.I am honestly making a dream come true, he said. Anything that comes after Brazil will not be bigger than this.---Mauricio Savarese on Twitter: http://twitter.com/MSavarese .

Canada 239 for 8 (Wijeratne 66, Kumar 60, Taylor 5-47) beat United States of America 205 (Babar 63, Pervez 3-38) by 34 runsScorecardNitish Kumars half-century and two wickets in a momentum-shifting bowling spell led Canada past USA by 34 runs in the opening 50-over contest of the 2016 Auty Cup in Woodley Park on Thursday. In his first match as Canada captain, Kumar arrived in the fourth over with the side at 20 for 1, after being put in to bat on a moist pitch, and teamed with Srimantha Wijeratne for a 104-run second-wicket partnership that laid the platform for the score of 239 for 8.Kumar had some help from USAs poor fielding performance that allowed the side to flourish early. Kumar was dropped twice - on 2 and 11 - by wicketkeeper Akeem Dodson in his innings of 60, while Wijeratne, who top-scored with 66, enjoyed three lives - he was put down by Steven Taylor at slip on 28 and 45, and then Dodson missed a stumping on 59.Taylor did his best to stall Canadas momentum with the ball and, after nabbing Kumar and Wijeratne, he burrowed through Canadas middle order to claim a career-best 5 for 47. Shehan Kamileen was teased into a edging a wider delivery, while Nikhil Dutta and Junaid Siddiqui were both given out leg before playing across the line.Legspinner Timil Patel built pressure at the other end to aid Taylor, ending with 2 for 35. Both strikes came in the 37th over - a double-wicket maiden - that swung the momentum USAs way. Hamza Tariq sent a leading edge back for a return catch off the second ball before Dilon Heyliger fell three balls later, flicking around his pads.Canada slipped from 152 for 2 to 183 for 8 by the time Taylor and Patel had ripped through the line-up but USAs inability to see off the tail cost them badly. Varun Sehdev and Satsimranjit Dhindsa added an unbeaten 56-run stand for the ninth wicket. An injury to Srini Santhanam, who had consistently troubled Canada and had two chances put down off his bowling, also dented USAs bowling effort. Santhanam hurt his shoulder throwing in a relay from the boundary in the 20th over, having just finished his sixth over in a spell of 0 for 30. He was off the field for the rest of the innings.USA sprinted toward tthe target early on thanks in part to Canadas wayward start with the ball - four leg byes and five wides in the first over - an early sign of things to come.ddddddddddddThe 32 extras bowled by Canada ended up as the second-highest contributor to USAs score. USA reached 45 in the fifth over as opener Abdullah Syed began by driving Dhindsa to the cover rope, then slashed him over third man for six in the second over before being caught down the leg side off Cecil Pervez for 12.Opening batsman Fahad Babar motored along to 35 off 32 balls before the introduction of spin halted his and USAs overall progress. While Babar managed to keep Canadas spinners out, his middle-order partners could not. Kumar brought himself on in the 14th over and clogged up runs at his end. The pressure saw USA add 10 runs and lose three wickets over the next seven overs to slip from 80 for 1 in 13 overs to 90 for 4 in 20 overs.Alex Amsterdam played down the wrong line and was pinned lbw by Kumar for 14. Taylor ran himself out for 1, with Babar on strike, as Kumar made a diving stop at midwicket off Dutta and then calmly threw to the bowler, with the batsman giving up. Dodson then edged Kumar to Siddiqui at slip for 5, giving the Canada captain figures of 2 for 6 with two maidens in his first five overs.Babar eventually brought up his half-century off 71 balls in the 27th over and appeared to have found a willing ally in Nicholas Standford to get USAs chase back on track. Standford slammed Siddiquis legspin over the on side for six and four in the 23rd over but, five overs later, he edged behind off Dhindsa while attempting a cut.Babars patience ran out, too, and he gave his wicket to Siddiqui, charging down the track for the first time in the 38th over and edging a slog to Tariq for 63. USA needed 74 off the last 12 overs but that was too much for the tail. Jessy Singh and Danial Ahmed were both caught on the boundary to wrap up the innings in 47.2 overs. Pervez was brilliant in his second spell, taking 2 for 11 and two maidens in five overs to finish with 3 for 38 in 10. ' ' '
