Australia believes China will not play like Bahrain and Indonesia

Adelaide –

Australia facing China in the expansion 2026 World Cup Qualifier. Craig Goodwin believes the duel will be different from the one against Indonesia.

Australia vs China will take place at Adelaide Oval, Thursday (10/10/2024). Both teams need to get three points in this match after being the bottom two teams in Group C in the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

Australia only got one point after losing 0-1 against Bahrain and drawing 1-1 with Indonesia. China still have zero points by losing 0-7 to Japan and 1-2 to Saudi Arabia.

The Socceroos are certainly very disappointed with the results of the two games played. Australia looked very dominant, forcing Bahrain and Indonesia to play very defensively.

“I think the game against China will be different from the first two games we played against Bahrain and Indonesia. I think China will come out a little more aggressive or be a little more aggressive,” Goodwin said, quoted by the Socceroos’ official website.

“It’s very cliche, but we have to focus on ourselves. We have to focus on the way we want to play.”

“This is our home game and we have to beat them, we have to be aggressive in our game, play at a high pace and try to set the tempo,” he said.
