| − | + | Seasoned supremo Winfried Schaefer has spent time as a coach on almost every continent, with the national teams of Cameroon, Thailand and now Jamaica, and with a host of clubs including Stuttgart and Al-Ahli. And in four-and-a-half decades in the game, the widely-respected German has enjoyed plenty of success, too. The former Bundesliga stalwart, who scored 46 goals in 403 German top-flight appearances, led the Indomitable Lions to the trophy at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations in 2002 and to the fifa 14 Confederations Cup final a year later. In almost 30 years in the dugout, Schaefer has seen pretty much all there is to see. However, the 63-year-old now faces one of the greatest challenges of his colourful career, as he seeks to lead the Reggae Boyz to the 2014 fifa 14 World Cup Brazil? despite a near-hopeless situation in CONCACAF qualifying. fifa2buy.com: You took over as Jamaica head coach four weeks ago. What have you been doing in that time?Winfried Schaefer: I was in America at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which featured our opponents in World Cup qualifying. I've also visited around three-quarters of my players at their clubs. They've noticed I mean business, and that's been a boost to their motivation. Jamaica are bottom of the fifa 14 World Cup qualifying group on two points – 11 behind leaders USA. Do you hold out much hope of securing a ticket to Brazil?I wouldn't have taken the job if I thought it was hopeless. I was certainly shocked when I looked at the World Cup qualifying table. Only two points? But after a video analysis, I became convinced there was much more to the team than they'd managed to show up to this point. The first match in Mexico was good, but then complacency set in and they thought it would all look after itself. The match against Panama on 6 September is the make-or-break fixture. We daren't lose that one. At the moment, we have maybe a 30 per cent chance of making it to Brazil. If we beat Panama, that might become a 60 per cent chance. Costa Rica come to us after that, and then we'll see. The most important thing is contact with the players. We don't have much time, so it's more important to rebuild their belief and convince them it's actually possible than to start showing them how to take a corner. But we'll also need a lot of luck. Jamaica have scored only two goals in six games. How are your intending to address this problem?The lads are all 1.80 to 1.90 metres tall. We should be practising dead ball situations because they're strong in the air. The two goals so far came from a corner and a free-kick. | |
