Rezende reflects on an emotional victory |
|
|
 December 3, Tokyo: For Brazil coach Bernardo Rezendo, perfection and satisfaction are unreachable goals in a never-ending quest.
Less than one hour after his side had retained their World Championships crown with a masterclass to the rest of the watching world, Rezende was already thinking about his next challenge.
As his players danced with the trophy under a cascade of gold ticker tape, Rezende was deep in thought.
The weight of a nation's expectation has been lifted. But his own, it seems, has not. |
