Camacho's tall talk;
China's new coach dismisses Singapore as a one-dimensional side
Lee Min Kok
KUNMING: Are the Lions a one-dimensional side who rely on route-one football'
China coach Jose Antonio Camacho seems to think so, judging from the confidence the Spaniard displayed on the eve of his side's 2014 World Cup qualifying third-round opener against Singapore.
Addressing a room packed with over 200 reporters and photographers at the Tuodong Sports Centre yesterday, the 56-year-old said: 'Singapore have only one tactic - pump the ball up to their No.9 (veteran striker Aleksandar Duric).
'I believe my defenders can deal with his threat.'
Half an hour later, it was Lions coach Raddy Avramovic's turn to face the media scrum, and the Serb did not take too kindly to his rival's comments.
'If Camacho thinks that tactic will work, great,' retorted Avramovic. 'But I think his time as China coach is too short to properly judge how we play.'
However, the 61-year-old is wary of the attacking threat that the 69th-ranked Chinese pose to his 129th-ranked side, who are missing key players Hariss Harun, Ismail Yunos and Fazrul Nawaz.
'This China team have been together for the past three years and know each other well,' he explained.
'From the last time we played them in 2007, they have retained almost 90 per cent of their players.'
Nevertheless, Avramovic has vowed not to focus on defence, adding: 'China and Singapore are good sides which like to play attacking football, so I'm expecting an open game.'
Both teams were involved in high-scoring games in the previous qualifying round last month. China thrashed minnows Laos 13-3 on aggregate, while Singapore beat neighbours Malaysia 6-4.
Media interest in how Camacho fares on his maiden outing as China's coach was at an all-time high yesterday, with the communication problems that have plagued the Spaniard over the past week apparent during the press conference.
The Spaniard was heavily reliant on a translator as he could not speak Mandarin or English.
And, despite taking over the post barely two week ago, he had to field questions over the team's notorious tendency to choke in crucial competitions.
He said: 'I don't agree that we fall at the crucial hurdles. It is a very big challenge for us and we need time to improve, but I believe the outcome will be very good.'
Since appearing at the 2002 World Cup Finals, China have flattered to deceive on the world stage.
It was left to newly-appointed China captain Li Weifeng, who accompanied his coach yesterday, to send out a strong message.
Said Li, 32: 'I think actions speak louder than words. We aim to show the fans what we are made off on Friday.'

Actually China is not a strong team..
If S'pore lose more than 2 goal.. is not that China is good.. but S'pore is lousy!!
But I hope to see a win or at least a draw.. worst case not lose more than 1 goal

Former Real Madrid and Spain manager Jose Antonio Camacho has been appointed as the new head coach of China PR, as the Asian nation sets its sights on qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.

The 56-year-old replaces Gao Hongbo and will be tasked with improving China's performance on the world stage.

Camacho coached Spain's national team between 1998 and 2002, leading them to the quarter-finals of the 2000 European Championships and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
