Haiti coach Sébastien Migné is looking forward to the match against five-time world champions Brazil on Friday.
"Run, run, run" is his message to the players, the Frenchman said in a news conference on Thursday.
He wanted to make it clear to them that they had nothing to lose but "everything to gain."
Migné emphasized once again that it had been 52 years since Haiti last participated in a World Cup. To now be playing against Brazil was "unbelievable."
"We're very lucky, many would like to be in our place. Many teams didn't qualify for the World Cup and tomorrow we play one of the best teams," he said.
In their opening match, Haiti lost by a narrow 1-0 to Scotland.
"We deserve to be here," Migné said. Against Brazil, who drew 1–1 with Morocco in their opener, Haiti could now step up their game a bit more, the coach said.
"We don't have a lot of international experience. Some will love the fact that they are facing Brazil. It's up to me and my staff to find the right approach.
"We want to guarantee from the start that we're totally committed to reaching our goals."
Football is always providing "wonderful moments," he added. The goal is to ensure that the country is proud of the team amid huge issues such as gang violence, corruption and hunger.
