Original title: Australian men’s football coach: the Chinese team defends well, the “Kangaroo Army” goal wins
Australian men’s football coach Arnold told Xinhua News Agency reporters recently that their first opponent in the World Preliminary Round 12, the Chinese team, has many experienced players, and the team has worked very hard under the leadership of coach Li Tie. “The goal is to win the game.
Arnold announced on the 28th the list of 27 people who participated in the two top 12 matches in September. Only one of them was from the Australian Super League. The vast majority of players played in overseas leagues. Aaron Mui, a midfielder of the Chinese Super League Shanghai Harbour, was selected.
“I think that after watching this team, it can be said that Li Tie did a good job. They worked very hard. The team’s defense is very strong, and there are many experienced players in the team,” Arnold told Xinhua at a video conference on the afternoon of the 28th. The reporter said.
“But as I said, for us, after the players arrive and complete the tests, we don’t have much time to practice together, only one or two at most. So the key is to make sure we are ready for this game. . When we step onto the field, we must have sufficient energy and look forward to winning the game.”
Arnold also talked about the Chinese Super League player Mu Yi at the press conference. He said that every time the veteran was recruited into the team, he believed that his condition was good and that returning to the team would bring the “Kangaroo Army” cohesion and energy. “He may not play a lot of time, but as I said, he is a top player.”
The Australian Football Association introduced on the 28th that the Australian men’s football team will complete the assembly in Doha on the 29th and 30th to prepare for the first match against the Chinese team on September 2 local time.
The Australian Football Association previously stated that after the game was changed to Doha due to the impact of the epidemic, the Australian Football Association is still working hard to communicate, hoping to arrange the two home games in October and November in Australia.
Although the adjustment of the game has brought some difficulties, the Australian men’s football goal is very clear, that is, to break through from the top 12 matches and advance to the World Cup finals for the fifth time in a row.
