Japan Head Coach Javier Aguirre has insisted he is "relaxed" ahead of Tuesday’s friendly with Brazil in Singapore.

The Mexican tactician watched his side beat Jamaica 1-0 on Friday and though he was disappointed with the result, he is confident that they can compete with the Seleção.

“I"m as relaxed as I always am," he said, as reported by Kyodo News. “The result did not reflect our performance.

“I think we had four clear-cut chances we didn"t take. I"m pleased with the way the team clicked, but I"m not satisfied with the result.

“If we play the way we did [against Jamaica] we might have a chance against Brazil. We had 20 shots against Jamaica. Against Brazil we might have one – and we"ll need to take that."
