Japan National Team: Zico Post-Mortem Those who have followed Zico Japan over the past four years were tantalized from time to time by a bit of dazzle and delight, as the team DID show the ability to play beautiful football. When Zico arrived, he brought with him a number of extremely important elements which Japan clearly needed if it was to move to the next level, as a footballing country. In the cases of both Troussier and Zico, by the end of their second year in charge, the coaches had already given the team all they could provide, in terms of cultivating growth, and the subsequent two years wer spend essentially "markig time" and waiting for the next change of management. www.wldcup.com /Asia/nats/2006/zico.html   (1680 words)

CNNSI.com - CNNSI.com's complete coverage of the FIFA World Cup - World Cup Hall of Fame: Zico - Wednesday May 29, 2002 ...

Zico was magnificent against Argentina and scored from a rebounding freekick to set up a 2-1 win and a decisive match against Italy that Brazil only needed to draw. By 1986, Zico's cavalier style was again out of favor as Brazil returned to the more pragmatic school of the mid-70s. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /soccer/world/2002/world_cup/hof/zico   (311 words)

Japan Jury Still Out On Enigmatic Zico - Soccer Fans Network Forums Zico’s predecessor, Philippe Troussier, presented the media, supporters, and players with a very clear-cut unbending blueprint centered around what is famously (or infamously) known as the "flat three" defense line. Zico’s philosophy of a more creative self-actualizing team showed signs of promise during the 2003 Confederations Cup, when his players put on a show against France that was then considered by fans to be one of the best in content. This was accredited to the esoteric influence of Zico’s policies, especially on the domestic-based players who had until then been lagging behind some of their more internationally experienced Europe-based teammates. forums.soccerfansnetwork.com /showthread.php?t=35715   (1638 words)
