Zico

Lendo a coluna de José Inácio Werneck no site da GazetaEsportiva, fico sabendo que um tal de Michael Church está fazendo duras críticas ao trabalho de Zico no comando da seleção japonesa:

The Yomiuri Shimbun's Michael Church, a former official of the Asian Confederation, is not impressed: 'Zico has no coaching experience and it shows. He's taken Japanese football back five years at least and undone a lot of the good work by [the World Cup coach] Philippe Troussier.'
