SAO PAULO -- Brazil didnt need Marta to win at the Rio Games. All it took was a speech from the countrys ex-coach and a couple of goals from its latest wonder kid.A call of support from Luiz Felipe Scolari and goals by promising youngster Gabigol helped put Brazil back on track at the Olympic tournament -- the hosts defeated Denmark 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals and keep alive their hopes of winning the gold medal for the first time.Brazil was in danger of an embarrassing elimination at home after struggling in the first two games, when frustrated fans jeered Neymar. Fans chanted Marta was better than Neymar several times across soccer host cities.Brazilian Olympic coach Rogerio Micale, in his first high-profile job, admitted he was struggling.He got some help from Scolari, a man who has dealt with both success and adversity. Scolari was Brazils coach when it won the 2002 World Cup and when it was eliminated by Germany in the historic 7-1 loss in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup at home.I got a call from Felipao. He showed his support, wished me luck, said he had trust in the work being done, the 47-year-old Micale said. It was a great honor to know that he was worried with this situation all the way back in China (where Scolari coaches). It shows what a great coach and what a great man he is.Scolari suffered through similar difficulties before the 2002 World Cup, when Brazils national team didnt have the support of the home fans after almost failing to qualify for the tournament in South Korea and Japan.He is a coach with experience, Micale said. He understands this moment that we were going through. He wanted to encourage us.Micale said he has also been getting support from senior team coach Tite, who made an important visit to the team after the disappointing scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.Its always important to have Tite around us, Micale said. His experience is always welcomed.The easy-going Micale has been Brazils under-23 coach but was not expected to be head of the team at the Olympics. He was given the job when Dunga was fired and replaced by Tite, who didnt want to take over both national teams.Micale said he was relieved after Brazil escaped elimination with the win against Denmark on Wednesday, with goals from Gabigol, Luan and Gabriel Jesus, another promising star who was yet to show his potential despite high expectations. Gabriel Jesus reached a multimillion-dollar deal to transfer to Manchester City just before the tournament began, while Gabigol is expected to soon make the move to European soccer. Both players had struggled in the first two matches.Barcelonas Neymar also played better Wednesday.The effort was there in the first matches; we tried hard but the results didnt happen, Neymar said. This time, we had more patience and we were able to score goals and get the result we wanted. The fans want to see goals and that didnt happen in the previous games, so they get a little upset, but they need to understand that we are not here to joke around. We are here to play football and do our best.Brazil, which will play Colombia in the quarterfinals Saturday in Sao Paulo, remains the main favorite to win the Olympic gold, which is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won in soccer.

NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period. Having finally overcome his mental demons, Western Sydney goalkeeper Jerrad Tyson hopes his first A-League showing in nearly three years was enough to earn him a recall.Wanderers coach Tony Popovic gave Tyson the nod for last Fridays 1-1 draw with Melbourne City, in a sign he may have tired with maligned regular No.1 Andrew Redmayne.Thrown in at the deep end against Bruno Fornaroli and Tim Cahill, the 27-year-old admitted he wasnt sure his form, untested since February 2014, would stand up.I felt pressure going into the game because Ive been a reserve goalkeeper for a long time now, Tyson said.I suppose I had a few demons in my own head thinking `am I actually good enough to play at this level?Getting the opportunity to play on Friday night was fantastic, just for my own head to say, `yes, I do feel like Im good enough to play at this level.IIll certainly keep training hard and hope to get the nod again this week against Brisbane.ddddddddddddI loved it. It was something Ive been waiting a long time for and it lived up to all expectations.Tysons gain was undoubtedly Redmaynes pain, the latter dropped following criticism of his recent performances.But Tyson said Redmayne had been nothing but supportive of the sudden competition.Redders and I have known each other for 10 years and played in a lot of teams together ... weve got a really close friendship first of all, and a very professional relationship on the pitch as well, he said.I was always supporting him when he had the job, and he was fantastic for me this week with me getting the nod for the game.
