Japan disappointed over Zico, Nakata in loss to Iran
26 March 2005

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，真是尖锐呀...

『 你们听见有话说：「以眼还眼，以牙还牙。」
只是我告诉你们，不要与恶人作对。
有人打你的右脸，连左脸也转过来由他打；
有人想要告你，要拿你的里衣，连外衣也由他拿去；
有人强逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；
有求你的，就给他；
有向你借贷的，不可推辞。 {马太福音 5.38～42} 』
