Doha –
Australia send a message to Indonesia ahead of the duel in the round of 16 2023 Asian Cup. They haven’t reached their best yet!
Australia will face Indonesia at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, Sunday (28/1/2024) evening WIB tomorrow. Socceroos On paper, he is favored because of his quality and experience, one of which is regularly appearing at the World Cup since 2006.
They also performed quite convincingly in the group phase, without losing with two wins and one draw. Made by team Graham Arnold They qualified as group winners, while Indonesia was one of the four best three teams.
Australian striker Martin Boyle realizes that in this phase there cannot be the slightest negligence. Featured status doesn’t guarantee anything.
“The first thing we wanted to achieve, we made it happen, we wanted to top the group and succeeded in doing it,” he was quoted as saying Socceroos.
“Now there is no room for mistakes in the knockout stages and every little mistake can punish us, so we know what to do and we have to keep progressing.”
Australia is looking at the Indonesian match with very good capital. They were without defeat in the last seven matches in all competitions, even keeping a clean sheet in six consecutive matches before being beaten by Uzbekistan.
Boyle feels that his team’s performance is still not optimal. The breaking force is an aspect that is considered to be even more efficient. For the record, Australia ‘only’ scored four goals in the group phase.
“We can still ‘up the gears’ again and I think we dominated the match, controlled the ball and created lots of chances. It feels like we just need to be a little more ruthless in front of goal,” continued the striker for Scottish club Hibernian.
“I feel defensively we are very strong, which is key and hopefully we can be more ruthless up front and penetrate opposing teams.”
