Brazil calling on spirit of '94

On paper at least, Brazil’s FIFA World Cup™ qualifier at home to Bolivia on 29 August 1993 should have been straightforward. Carlos Alberto Parreira’s side were, however, under enormous pressure with three games left to play in the South American Zone.

Just one month earlier, Brazil had suffered their first-ever defeat in the qualifying competition, 2-0 away to Bolivia in La Paz, and the week before the return fixture had left the pitch to a barrage of booing after a 2-0 home win over Ecuador. However, showing the strength of will and unity that would end up taking them to glory at USA 1994, Brazil’s first world crown for 24 years, A Seleção put La Verde to the sword in a 6-0 success.

Yet despite the emphatic nature of that win, the defining moment came when the players entered the field hand-in-hand prior to kick-off. This gesture of togetherness was repeated before each match right through to 17 July 1994, the day they edged Italy on penalties to lift the FIFA World Cup Trophy for a fourth time.

His (footballing) philosophy is a good reflection of his personality: he’s serious, hard-working and above all a winner.

Mauro Silva on Dunga

Fast-forward 16 years and Dunga, the captain of that team, is the head coach of the Brazil squad looking to claim a sixth world title at South Africa 2010. And since taking the reins in 2006, the former midfielder has worked tirelessly to instil the same ideals of fighting spirit and teamwork that served so well in 1994.

“I don’t think I’ll ever see a squad with the same team spirit as that Seleção,” he said when interviewed in Johannesburg. “Back in 1994 we were subject to distrust, threats, controversy, criticism... it was almost inhuman. But the spirit, willpower and joie de vivre of that group was similar to the squad we have in 2010.”

From the pitch to the dugoutSuch similarities are inevitable, given that Dunga was very much a leader and on-the-field coach back in 1994. Moreover, accompanying him here at South Africa 2010 are two former team-mates of Dunga from that USA triumph in the shape of assistant coach Jorginho and recently appointed scout Claudio Taffarel.

“In every training drill and exercise I see a huge amount of commitment, and I saw that same level of desire in 1994: the determination that Dunga, Taffarel and I experienced first-hand", said Jorginho. “There are no egos, they all fight for each other. That was our strength back then (in 1994),” added Taffarel.

Another member of the class of 1994 currently in Johannesburg, working as a TV commentator, is Dunga’s former partner at the heart of A Seleção midfield: Mauro Silva. “Dunga’s already been there and done that. He’s already won the World Cup, he’s lifted the Trophy. So, he can say that ‘lads, this is the way to win it’, and nobody could doubt that he knows what he’s talking about,” he said in an exclusive interview with FIFA. “His (footballing) philosophy is a good reflection of his personality: he’s serious, hard-working and above all a winner.”

Indeed, the current Brazil squad will not have to look far for inspiration, as captain Lucio, of UEFA Champions League winners Inter Milan, explained: “It was at the exact moment that Dunga lifted the World Cup (in Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl) when I began dreaming of playing for the Seleção and being crowned world champions.”

Ronaldo: Don't count us out

On the eve of his country’s South Africa 2010 bow, Portugal’s captain is quietly confident. As his team finalised their preparations to face Côte d’Ivoire in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo toldFIFA that, while A Selecção das Quinas may not rank among the favourites, anything is possible with their fans behind them and their customary team spirit to call upon.

In an exclusive interview with FIFA, the Real Madrid stiker expressed his delight at having the chance to take part in Africa’s first FIFA World Cup™. For Ronaldo, the differences between South Africa 2010 and Germany 2006 are obvious: “Yes, of course it’s different. It’s the first World Cup ever played in Africa and more importantly we’re playing in winter. But ever since we arrived the experience has been fantastic and I think that’s the way it is going to be until the final game of the tournament.”

Ronaldo happily admitted that Carlos Queiroz’s squad is revelling in the atmosphere. “We’re all very happy to be here. A lot of our squad haven’t played in a World Cup before, and so they’re desperate to play. We’re also confident that we’re going to play well and give a very good account of ourselves. Fortunately everything is going well so far.”

In spite of his relatively tender age, the 25-year old is one of the most experienced members of the Portugal squad and he will have the honour of wearing the captain’s armband at the finals, something he considers a genuine privilege.  “What do you need to captain a team? Firstly, I think it’s important not to change what you do just because you’re captain, and above anything else, you have to be totally honest.

We’re not one of the favourites. But that doesn’t mean that a supposedly unfancied team can’t become world champions.

Cristiano Ronaldo

"Everyone has their own personality and character. I’ve got mine, and I don’t change who I am whether I’m captain or not. But of course, for me it is a privilege to be captain of Portugal. It makes me very proud. My team-mates know me very well, and I know them, and everything is going very well. There’s a great camaraderie in our squad, we’re great friends, and there’s a real family atmosphere. That’s the only way we can win and be successful.”

The Real Madrid talisman is one of world football’s biggest stars, and the focus of huge attention wherever he goes. The many thousands of people of Portuguese extraction who live in South Africa have offered him a hero's welcome, and Ronaldo is grateful for the reception he and his team-mates have been afforded. “Well, of course we knew that there were going to be lots of Portuguese here and that they would encourage the team and that makes us very happy," he said. "Having that little bit of extra backing when we’re on the pitch is crucial. And that’s why I would like to take the opportunity to thank the fans for all of their support so far.”

Naturally, those passionate Portuguese fans are dreaming of roaring their team towards FIFA World Cup™ glory. For his part, Ronaldo believes that his side are in with a genuine chance: “As I said before the finals, we’re not one of the favourites. But that doesn’t mean that a supposedly unfancied team can’t become world champions. I think that some of the teams at this World Cup have got a bit more about them than we have, and that’s no secret, but we’re going to fight all the way. We’re going to give it our best shot and if we do anything could happen.”

At the Portuguese helm is a coach who knows exactly what it takes to get to the summit of world football. Carlos Queiroz led his country to two FIFA U-20 World Cup titles, in 1989 and 1991, and his captain is quick to sing the praises of the man who will be hoping to repeat the trick with the senior side. “I got to know Carlos Queiroz a few years ago and fortunately for me I’ve had the pleasure and the privilege of working with him, firstly when I was at Manchester United and now with the national team. He has been crucial for my career because he has helped me to improve my style of play. I very much enjoy working with him.”

Not everything has gone smoothly for the Iberian side in the run-up to their FIFA World Cup opener. A shoulder injury robbed Manchester United winger Nani of the chance to play in the finals, and his former team-mate at Old Trafford will readily admit that he will miss his old friend, both on and off the pitch. “Nani was playing really well, he was in great form and obviously we’re going to miss him. Not only for what he can do on the pitch, but also because of his presence in the squad and the way that he would support his team-mates. He was a key player for us. Unfortunately he has picked up an injury and we’ve got some very good players who can take his place, but of course he will be a very big loss.”

One of the main talking points surrounding Portugal’s game with Côte d’Ivoire on Tuesday has been the fitness of the Africans’ star striker Didier Drogba and more specifically whether he will recover from injury in time to play some part in the game. Portugal’s own superstar, however, is less concerned about whether Drogba plays or not because, as he says, Les Elephants are not a one-man team.

He said: “Everybody is only talking about Drogba, and whether he plays or not, but to be honest, we’re not really thinking about that. We’re only concerned with ourselves. We’re feeling good, we’re confident and ready to make a good start to the competition. If Drogba doesn’t play, someone else will take his place and so we have to be ready. We just need to focus on ourselves."

ZAMBROTTA: “CRITICISM HAS UNITED OUR GROUP EVEN MORE

http://www.figc.it/en/204/24995/2010/06/News.shtml
 Among other things, today, after the controversy of that past days sparked by a comment made by Minister Calderoli, it was officialized that part of the prize money for South Africa 2012 will be destined to the celebration of the 150 years of the unity of Italy. “The foundation for the celebrations of the unity of Italy has some budget problems – said Buffon and Cannavaro – and so since we are a symbol that unites the entire country we have decided: if we win prize money, each of us will contribute by giving a part of the prize, small or large, to highlight the importance of a united Italy.”

Japan squad leave for Game 1 venue

Japan’s World Cup squad left George for the venue of their opening game in Bloemfontein on Saturday morning and planned to have a tune-up session in the afternoon near the Free State Stadium.

The players enjoyed a full day-off on Friday, their first since they got together on May 21.
Japan, making their fourth straight appearance in the World Cup, will meet Cameroon in their opening match on June 14, before playing the Netherlands on June 19 in Durban and Denmark on June 24 in Rustenburg in Group E.

Italy begin their title defence

A cosmopolitan cast is preparing to light up the fourth matchday at the 2010 World Cup South Africa™. Following an all-European affair between the Netherlands and Denmark, Italy take on Paraguay in a Europe-South American showdown before Asian hopefuls Japan meet four-time African champions Cameroon.

The holders face a litmus test of their title credentials against a Guaraníes outfit who enter the tournament on the back of their best ever preliminary campaign, having racked up ten victories on the road to South Africa.

Another European contender hoping to keep up the momentum is the Netherlands. Unbeaten on the qualification trail, the Elftal have hit top gear since Bert van Marwijk replaced Marco van Basten in the driving seat. The former Feyenoord coach has injected a greater dose of pragmatism into the squad, helping them turn performances into points.

"It’s also important to learn to win without playing well," says Oranje centre-back Andre Ooijer. Meanwhile Denmark, the surprise winners of their qualifying group, seem to have taken a step back in their build-up matches, with the probable absence of Nicklas Bendtner is unlikely to help the Danish Dynamite make an explosive start.

In the second Group E skirmish Cameroon will attempt to notch their first ever victory over a Japan side which has defeated them twice, including once in the FIFA Confederations Cup. Both of these nations have struggled to hit their stride in warm-up games against fellow FIFA World Cup qualifiers. While Japan came away empty handed against Korea Republic, England and Côte d'Ivoire, the Indomitable Lions were held to a draw by Slovakia before shipping three goals in successive games against Portugal and Serbia.

The matchesThe Netherlands - Denmark, Group E, Johannesburg (Soccer City), 13:30
Japan - Cameroon, Group E, Mangaung/Bloemfontein, 16:00
Italy - Paraguay, Group F, Cape Town, 20:30

The big gameItaly – ParaguayThe defending champions start the tournament as underdogs after a lacklustre run-in to the finals. Nevertheless, with nine veterans from Germany 2006 and a clutch of talented young pretenders to bolster their ranks, La Nazionale look as solid as ever with a backbone consisting of FIFA World Cup winners Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Andrea Pirlo and Alberto Gilardino. The team’s laboured build-up is unlikely to trouble Marcello Lippi, who knows that the Azzurri tend to find their feet as the competition progresses.

The Tuscan-born tactician will nevertheless be wary of Paraguay, who are contesting their fourth consecutive finals with a squad which has come of age. Albirroja coach for the last three seasons, 47-year-old Argentinian Gerardo Martino has instilled some Italian-style consistency into his team, which relies on a watertight defence and lightning counter-attacks. It’s no coincidence that the Paraguayans dominated in beating both Brazil and Argentina on their way to the finals.

In focusFeyenoord - AjaxDuring Denmark’s encounter against the Netherlands, Danish forwards Jon Dahl Tomasson and Dennis Rommedahl will be reunited with their respective team-mates at Feyenoord and Ajax, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Gregory van der Wiel. The two Dutch wing-backs form part of an obdurate rearguard which conceded just two goals in eight matches during qualification. The tussle between Tomasson and Van Bronckhorst, two wily old foxes who have respectively notched up 107 and 97 caps, looks set to be particularly interesting.

What they said"If you want to survive in football, the best strategy is to attack. Our coach is always drumming it into us, he wants to see us play offensive football," Keisuke Honda, Japan playmaker

Toure: Eriksson has changed our mindset

Sven-Goran Eriksson’s highly fancied Côte d'Ivoire side make their grand entrance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ on Tuesday against Portugal in Port Elizabeth. Ahead of the Group G clash, defender Kolo Toure, talking exclusively to FIFA, describes his hopes and ambitions for the tournament as a whole.

FIFA: Kolo, you couldn’t hide your joy at Sven-Goran Eriksson’s appointment as Côte d'Ivoire coach. Why were you so happy with the decision?
Kolo Toure: Because he’s hugely experienced, plain and simple. He’s already coached the national teams of massive countries like England and Mexico. At club level, he’s won plenty of trophies, and has been in charge at places like Lazio and Manchester City. It was crucial for us to attract a coach with a great track record and lots of experience. I’m still delighted that he chose us.

What has changed since his arrival?
He has put an added emphasis on playing as a team and not just as a collection of individuals. He has managed to change the mindset of the team and of each player. We’ve always had good players, but have never been able to properly work together as an effective unit, defending and attacking as one. That’s what we’ve been working on, and we hope that it’ll bear fruit, starting with our first match versus Portugal.

Where do you think the original problems that you mention stemmed from? 
We found it impossible to talk to each other honestly, to offer constructive criticism or to completely focus at training sessions. All of these factors began to create an unhealthy atmosphere within the squad. If you want to become a great international side, you need 23 players who are humble and uncomplicated, and are all willing to fight for the same cause. On the pitch, everyone has to put aside personal issues and think only of the team.

Eriksson has been focusing a lot on your defence since your FIFA World Cup preparations began. Why is this?
Because we need to learn to defend better, and as a team. By ‘as a team’, I mean defending collectively, in a system where everyone does his bit, from striker to goalkeeper. In modern football, you win nothing without a strong defence.

Did Didier Drogba’s injury affect team morale, at least at first ?

During the first few days, it was really hard to take, because Didier is our captain and best player, after all. He’s a top goalscorer who has always stood up to be counted when we’ve found ourselves with our backs against the wall. But, as I’ve said already, there are 23 players here representing Côte d’Ivoire, and it’s all those players together who’ll win us matches, not Didier Drogba on his own. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. What counts now is that everyone fights for each other, side by side.

Your friend Didier Zokora may start alongside you in central defence. Any thoughts?
You know, we’ve already played beside each other in defence over the years. When we were young, we had a good time together: he called me [Fabio] Cannavaro and I called him [Alessandro] Nesta. Didier is a natural defender, with the right mentality to excel in the position. He’s a very intelligent player.

What lessons did you retain from Germany 2006?
A real mix of things. On the one hand, there remains the nagging feeling that we missed a great chance to do something big. On the other hand, we were very young and inexperienced, and it was our first World Cup. The way we had qualified made us feel that just being there was already a huge achievement. This time around, it’s different. Our ambitions are greater. We’re all more focused on the same goal. And playing on our home continent gives us even more desire to surpass ourselves.
