Zico upbeat despite defeat
by Mark Buckingham - created on 22 May 2005
-----------------------------------------------
Zico refused to press the panic button after Japan lost 1-0 to Peru in the
Kirin Cup.
An injury time goal from Gustavo Enrique Vassallo settled the match in Niigata,
handing Peru's new coach Freddy Ternero a win on his debut.
Japan had dominated the encounter for sustained periods but were unable to
break down their stubborn opponents.
Ahead of next month's 2006 World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain and North
Korea, the defeat is a setback to Zico's plans but the Japan coach was not
being downbeat after the loss.
"We didn't take our chances and they caught us on the break," said Zico.
"There's no need to panic and make lots of changes. We just need to be more
clinical in front of goal."
Peru boss Ternero was buoyed by the result on his baptism, particularly given
the limited amount of preparation time.
Ternero commented: "We have only been together for three days and Japan did
dictate for long periods but we showed discipline and battled hard for the
result."
The next game in the Kirin Cup pits Peru against United Arab Emirates on
Tuesday before Japan play against their Asian rivals on Friday.
