The Selecao downed Cameroon in extra time last night to earn their spot in the final four and set up a blockbuster clash with reigning champs Argentina.
The five-time World Cup winners have brought a star-studded squad to China in the hope of claiming their first Olympic gold.
Some have criticised the quality of their football so far in the tournament, but Dunga insisted he will not change his results-oriented approach against the Albiceleste.
"We have to play against everything, we have to play to win, there's no other way," he said. "If the opposition play open football against Brazil, then we can play open and pretty football."
The Brazil squad, who have played three of their four fixtures to date in Shenyang, will lodge at the Olympic Village ahead of Tuesday's game in Beijing.
Dunga said: "We have got to get there first to see how everything is. There's no problem as long as our resting and eating times are respected.
"But we could do with fewer volunteers, there are too many of them around the team."
The former Fiorentina midfielder's complaints did not end their, however, as he again bemoaned the quality of the pitch in Shenyang.
"The pitch didn't help at all. The stadium is fantastic but the most important thing is the pitch."
