FRANCE 98 – Japan-Jamaica – T. Okada: “The team gave 100% of themselves”

“My players were too slow in front of the opposition’s goal where they made too many passes. We had many opportunities and we finally succeeded in scoring because the team gave 100% of themselves.

I take full responsibility for this result.

The Jamaicans deserved to win, they knew how to draw upon their skills, physical presence and great implementation and get quickly to the goal this coupled with their efficiency gave a high tempo to the match”.
