Nakata urges team mates to get serious

Hidetoshi Nakata the Japan veteran midfielder has urged his fellow team mates to get serious ahead of the game against Germany tonite.
He feels the atmosphere in their training camp is too relaxed.
The team face a serious test against the hosts Germany in tonite’s friendly and I am sure Nakata is trying to psyche his fellow team mates ahead of a big clash against Germany.
I know this is only a friendly but we will see how good this Japan team is compared to the one four years ago.
Anything less than a last eight finish will be termed a failure even though coach Zico is aiming for a semi-final spot.

Oh no! 2:2 on the 80th minute!
I don’t watch the game, so I don’t know what happened: did
Japan all went back to defend the
2-0 lead against the enraged Germans? Were the 2 equalising goals by Klose and Schweinsteiger the results of defensive errors?
Or did Japan continue to press
ahead and control the middle and
just momentarily loose concentration?
Or was it that the subs did not
enter the game well?
Germany showed once more that they are recovering their steely
determination. Good that it was
Japan that made them show what
they are worth.
And may be, just may Germans get carried away to score a winner, and Japan gets a chance upfront.
GO JAPAN!!!

That’s it: Germany 2 – Japan 2.
Japan has passed the Germany test
with head held high and almost snatched the victory from the hosts.
Pity I did not see the game. Would be interesting to read your
analysis.

I couldn’t watch the game this morning! So, I watched a news program. What a scorcher Takahara is! I hope he get a goal in World Cup.
