Tite feels facing Germany in an international friendly will be important emotionally for his Brazil side, four years on from World Cup humiliation.
Germany destroyed the hosts 7-1 in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, plunging Brazil into a state of national despair.
Brazil travel to Berlin on Tuesday to take on Germany for the first time since that game, Joachim Low s men having gone on to beat Argentina in the World Cup final.
And Tite who was not in charge of Brazil at the last World Cup accepts his players may be affected by the memory of being thrashed by Germany.
The 7-1 game is the most recent game, Tite said. And of course we know that we ll play Germany in Berlin, they were world champions, they beat us 7-1 and it s a step that s passed.
We are in a building period and emotionally it will be important. Against Germany, we will want to play football, to be competitive, mentally strong, and put an idea in play. We are looking to impose our way of playing.
