Goodwin: National Team Will Play More Positively Against Australia, We Must Overcome Pressure

“For the past few years, I’ve been calling for a national team match to be held in my hometown of Adelaide United, and I’ll enjoy playing in front of friends and family. Let me predict that the stadium will be packed in two days.”

“Regarding the new coach Popovic, he has achieved great success wherever he’s been. I haven’t worked with him yet, but when I played against his teams, I found them always well-organized and very tough to beat. You can tell he’s a natural winner. He can instill a good mentality into the Australian national team, which will be beneficial for us.”

“Australia didn’t perform well in the first two matches, and most of us players will reflect on this issue and our own performances. The pressure on Australia is indeed greater than before, but from another perspective, nothing compares to the pressure of playing for your country. This is professional football, and we must overcome it.”

“The match against China will be different from the previous two games against Bahrain and Indonesia. I believe China will try to play with more intensity or be more proactive.”

“Next, we must focus on ourselves, which sounds cliché, but this is our home game, and Australia must control the game. We must maintain aggression and set the tone for the entire match through high tempo.”
