Zico: "Tokyo Olympics will be great"

  • Football great Zico talks Olympic football during his visit to Tokyo 2020 House

    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Zico

    "The team stopped thinking about Neymar, played more as a group without worrying about passing to him and Neymar himself stopping trying to solve a match on his own. These things happen and Brazil has all the chances to win this gold medal because they are in a good place at the moment and a good place to be part of the tournament - the finals."

    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Zico

    "They played very well, despite the total lack of support that women football has in Brazil. I think that they keep operating miracles. This love, dedication, care that they have is an example for Brazilians, in all aspects. They are there and playing well."

    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Zico

    "I think that Tokyo has everything to organize great Olympics. They organised one many years ago, in 1964. Of course, it's not the same Japan as we have today, especially in terms of Technology. I believe, without any doubt, that this will be a point that they will focus a lot."

    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Zico

    "(Japan's U-23 team) was very bad. I fell sorry, because I wanted that the head coach (Makoto Teguarmori) to have good results because he played with me at Sumitomo (Kashima Antlers) when I arrived there. But, unfortunately, Japan was below our expectations. It needs to improve, especially because a lot was expected from them, since, at last Olympics (in London) they were fourth. Now they have to keep going, try to do a new work for the next Olympics, which will be important."
