(Reuters) - New Japan coach Vahid Halilhodzic savoured his side's 5-1 thrashing of Uzbekistan in a match where all his big guns fired in unison, but the Bosnian said no player is guaranteed a place for upcoming 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Japan's impressive victory over the Uzbeks on Tuesday made it two wins out of two for Halilhodzic, who took over when Javier Aguirre was sacked in February amid fears the Argentine's involvement in an investigation into alleged match-fixing in Spain would hinder their World Cup plans.
