Okada: No feud with Van Marwijk
Posted Saturday, June 19, 2010 by PA
Japan coach Takeshi Okada insists he has no feud with his Holland counterpart ahead of Saturday's World Cup Group E meeting against Durban.
Holland coach Bert van Marwijk admitted on Friday he did not recognise Okada the last time they met at the FIFA draw and mistook him for a federation executive.
"I am not close to Van Marwijk," Okada said. "I don't know him well. We have not been rivals in the past and this is not a personal match. I cannot pronounce properly the Dutch coach's surname but by that I don't mean any disrespect."
