Japan disappointed over Zico, Nakata in loss to Iran 26 March 2005 by AFP Japan's World Cup squad returned home Saturday after a shock 2-1 loss to Iran overnight with coach Zico under fire for gambling too much on out-of-form Fiorentina midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata. "It serves them right," cried the headline in the tabloid Nikkan Gendai, which had warned the Brazilian legend would face pressure to resign if the Asian champions lost their next qualifier against Bahrain at home on Wednesday. Zico had opted to switch from a 3-5-2 to a 4-4-2 to accommodate Nakata, back from a year's absence from international duty due to recurring groin pain. Japan usually play with three midfielders plus two wing-backs. But Nakata, who has often sat on the bench in Italian Serie A matches, joined three regulars in the midfield. The four-man defence was also aimed at blocking Iran's firing line spearheaded by veteran captain Ali Daei. But the shift from the formation which helped Japan retain the Asian Cup last August cost them dearly, although 28-year-old Nakata, twice the Asian footballer of the year, dazzled with a few brilliant passes. "We were exploring our own kind of football. It was not our condition that mattered most," Reggina playmaker Shunsuke Nakamura, who played alongside Nakata, told Japanese reporters after the match. "Returning to the old formation is the shortest cut to a solution," he added. Nakata, once regarded as an infallible figure, and fellow midfielder Takashi Fukunishi were embroiled in a rare bust-up over tactics while training ahead of the match at an altitude of 1,300 metres in Tehran. Fukunishi scored the sole goal for Japan. SV Hamburg striker Naohiro Takahara said, "I could not grasp the timing for making a move. We were not clear about our combinations and moves. We have no choice but to read just ourselves before the Bahrain match." "First of all, it was a failure," the influential daily Asahi Shimbun said. "There was diagreement between Nakata and others over the defensive tactics, " the daily added, saying that Zico must rebuild solidarity with his players in the next four days before the Bahrain match. Japan, who beat North Korea in the opener of the Asian Group B, slipped to third spot with three points. Iran and Bahrain stood at the top with four points as the two countries drew in their first match. Bahrain beat North Korea 2-1 in the other Group-B match in Pyongyang on Friday. "Far from top form, Nakata created some fine moments. But on the other hand, the timing of his passes was slow and he let the ball slip away a number of times," senior football critic Yoshiyuki Osumi wrote in the daily Tokyo Shimbun. "But if Nakata has restored something through the fierce battle to carry on to battles ahead, we can be content with the lost match," he said. Japan, who reached the last 16 of the 2002 World Cup finals on home turf, have been boosted by a run of luck, including an injury-time winner, in their qualifying campaign for 2006. They won all six matches in the first round. "If Japan lose to Bahrain after Iran, it will prove that they can no longer win with luck," the tabloid Nikkan Gendai said, quoting football association sources. "They will have two months before the next match, enough to rebuild themselves under a new head coach." --- 最後一段，真是尖銳呀... -- 『你們聽見有話說：「以眼還眼，以牙還牙。」只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打；有人想要告你，要拿你的裏衣，連外衣也由他拿去；有人強逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；有求你的，就給他；有向你借貸的，不可推辭。 {馬太福音 5.38～42} 』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.27.11
