While Bafana Bafana players sweat it out on the training fields at Granja Comary, their first Brazilian opponents Volta Redonda await in tonight's match.
According to a press release put out by SAFA yesterday, the South African players have been feeling the pinch at Granja Comary.
"It's very tough, we are not spared one bit but we had an idea of what we were coming here for. I feel very happy to be part of this training camp, at least I am one step closer to the World Cup squad," said Orlando Pirates' midfielder Andile Jali.
"But I cannot afford to rest on my laurels. I still need to work hard to clinch my place. At the same time I am still young, if I don't make the final 23 I know 2014 in Brazil will be my year. But I am really enjoying myself here."
Mamelodi Sundowns' striker Lebohang Mokoena, agrees: "It's great to be part of this camp. I am here to learn from a very knowledgeable coach and his assistants. It was a good decision to bring us here because the atmosphere is different and we are able to focus and have peace of mind.
"Training has been tough especially in that we come from a very competitive short season in the PSL, but as professionals we have to get on with our business.
"And to all South Africans, just know that we are working very hard because we want to make you proud, we will give it our best shot and I feel at the end all this sacrifice will be worth it."
SuperSport goalkeeper Emille Baron said things have been difficult, "especially with all the travelling, only now we are trying to adjust and the five-hour time difference is not helping, but we will be fine".
"For me it's an honour to be called up for this camp and I always strive to do my best for my country. At the moment all the players know that at the end of the day it's up to each and everyone of us to work hard and show we deserve to be in the final squad.
"But most importantly we need your support in South Africa and if we have that we are halfway through in our battle," he added in the press release.
