Brazil skipper Lucio highlighted the threat of Egypt's Mohamed Zidan, ahead of Monday's Confederations Cup meeting.

Bayern Munich center-half Lucio is aware of his Bundesliga rival's capabilities, speaking to FIFA's official site.

"We've played against each other a good few times in the Bundesliga," said Lucio of the Borussia Dortmund forward.

"He's an extremely quick forward who has the ability to win a game with a moment of individual skill."

Focused

Lucio indicated that his side have to be fully focused on their Group B opener with the African champions, who are definite outsiders in the tough group.

"We'll have to be very focused (against Egypt), more than anything because it's our first game of the competition and those are always very tense," added the veteran.

"That's what this tournament's like: one challenge after another."
