"I will do the way I am", Okada declared a break with Osim's method
Japan national team coach Okada talked to the media,
a day after returning from a trip of 1-0 losing at Bahrain for 2010 World Cup qualifying.
Taking over Mr. Osim's job, Okada followed Osim's methodlogy. "As I didn't have enough time
to prepare World Cup qualifying, there was a risk to change the methodology. The defeat
came expensive, but from today I will do the way I am".
Proactive versus reactive. There is a gap between Osim and Okada's tactics. Next World Cup
qualifying is scheduled on 2nd June.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ivica Osim was discharged from hospital after stroke on 25th March.
Watch us and rib us, Ivica.
"I want all of you to do the following things," the 66-year-old
Bosnian said in a statement to fans on Tuesday as he was discharged
after more than four months in hospital.
"Come over to the stadium and put a lot of pressure on the
players. Tell them to run more and quicken up the speed of play," said
the statement released by the Japan Football Association.
"And if the players perform well, give them a big hand."
