Date: 23-06-2006 08:04
CICINHO: It's good to know we can rely on Ronaldo and know he will be getting the goals for us. I was delighted to play the whole 90 minutes and now the coach knows what I can do. We are prepared for every opponent we will meet from here on. Of course, Ghana will be tough, but we will be ready.
The match:
There were plenty of changes in the two sides’ line-ups. Notably, Zico plumped for a new strike partnership in Keiji Tamada and Seiichiro Maki, while Carlos Alberto Parreira brought in Robinho for Adriano and also promoted Gilberto, Juninho Penambucano, Gilberto Silva and Cicinho to the starting line-up.
45+1’:However, just when it looked like Japan would carry the lead into the half-time break, Brazil struck. Ronaldinho crossed for Cicinho to head back across goal, where Ronaldo ghosted into space to nod home.
