NEW Hangzhou Greentown manager Takeshi Okada, famed for his confident predictions, left his players at the Chinese side laughing at him when he boldly told them he was targeting victory over Barcelona at the Club World Cup next year.
"I want to win the Asian Champions League, go to the Club World Cup and beat Barcelona," Okada said yesterday. "I told the players and they laughed. But it's not impossible." Having only signed a one-year contract it is highly unlikely, however. "I told the owner he had guts naming a Japanese coach," Okada said. "He told me he's already getting stick and admits it's a risk but the team has potential. Hopefully it can be the start of something big," added Okada, who coached Yokohama F-Marinos to back-to-back J-League titles in 2003 and 2004.
