In brief
Socceroos require ‘killer instinct’ By Steve Larkin
Australia, ranked 62nd in the world, paid a hefty price for suffering stage-fright early in their opening 3-1 loss to Chile; then pushed the star-studded Netherlands in a 3-2 defeat featuring Tim Cahill’s wondrous volley goal. But the wheels fell off against Spain in Curitiba’s Arena da Baixada, with the Socceroos firing not one shot on target. Postecoglou said his fatigued players couldn’t muster the required effort. “We lost our discipline, our decision-making wasn’t great,
“We haven’t got the results that we wanted,” Postecoglou told reporters. “We came here with the intent of trying to make an impact ... but it hasn’t happened. “The one objective we did have was to measure ourselves against the very best and I think we have done that. We know exactly where we’re at. “I have got a clear indication of where we’re at as a nation and what we need to improve on to make sure that the gap that exists now between us the top 20 nations in the world is bridged.”
After measuring Australia against the world’s best, Ange Postecoglou knows where they fell short. And he now knows what is needed. A killer instinct. Better concentration. Greater squad depth. A more effective attack. Postecoglou says all are priorities after Australia won respect but lost all three games in a World Cup campaign in Brazil which ended with a 3-0 defeat by Spain yesterday.
Van Gaal goes on attack Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has bristled at suggestions he isn’t playing attacking football at the World Cup. After his team beat Chile 2-0 to top Group B with three wins out of three, Van Gaal fired back questions at the press conference when asked about his counterattacking set-up. “Could you give me a definition of attacking football? That’s my question to you,” Manchester United-bound Van Gaal said to one journalist. “I’m asking you, if you have such a clever question ... if you’re going to ask me questions, I’m going to ask you questions.” - AFP
we gave the ball away far too cheaply,” he said. The Socceroos were punished by Spain, who offered Postecoglou further evidence of what Australia require most. “We need to keep giving these guys opportunities and exposing them to this kind of football so they get an understanding of the level of concentration that is needed,” he said. “Apart from just the physical effort and tactical discipline, just the concentration. I think more than anything, that has really shown us up in this tournament.” - AAP Primary Logo
