Johannesburg - Brazil is taking security lessons from South Africa as it prepares to host the next World Cup in 2014, the Brazilian organising committee said on Thursday.Brazil had sent a security group to South Africa for a few days to "analyse the situation and pick the issues that need to be sorted", said organising committee chairperson Ricardo Texeira."We do have a security problem in Brazil..., but Brazil has organised major events and they have seen no issues," Texeira said via a translator at a media briefing at Soccer City.'Negative into positive'Former Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Alberto Perreira, who is also a former coach of the Brazil team, said Brazil should take lessons from South Africa and make all the "negative into positive"."Obviously people were sceptical [about the World Cup in South Africa], but for seven years people worked very hard... to make this the success that it is," Perreira said, also via a translator."South Africa did very well in terms of using their resources, it has been very successful," he said.Texeira said FIFA generally reviewed its operations after a World Cup to correct any problems in the next tournament. This would be done after the South African World Cup to improve on the Brazilian tournament, he said.
