Not Wanting to Boast, Australian National Team Captain Says Indonesia is a Quality Team

Jakarta, Todaysgist.com – The Australian national team is under pressure after suffering a 0-1 defeat to Bahrain in the first match of the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone in Group C. The Kangaroos national team do not want to… brag in the match against the Indonesian National Team, on Tuesday (10/9/2024) evening WIB at the GBK Senayan Stadium, Jakarta.

This was revealed from the statement of the Australian national team captain Maty Ryan regarding the match against the Garuda troops. He seemed very careful in giving comments.

“Indonesia is now a quality team, which could be detrimental to us, if Australia does not play focused,” he said Saturday (7/9/2024).

“We have to focus on our own game, do what needs to be done. The team will come back, win and make good progress on the way to winning a ticket to the World Cup,” he said.

Meanwhile, his teammate Alessandro Circati said Australia came to Jakarta to win. He admitted that he and his teammates still could not get over the defeat against Bahrain.

“We still can’t swallow the sadness of losing the match. It’s not a pleasant feeling. However, the team must forget the defeat to Bahrain and look forward to the match against Indonesia. We go to Jakarta to win. Australia needs points to improve their position in the standings,” said the right-back.

Australia is in fifth place in Group C of the Asian zone with no points (0). Meanwhile, Indonesia is in fourth place with 1 point after a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia in the first match.
