SKOR.idAustralia harus memanfaatkan keunggulan udara mereka di Piala Asia 2023. Demikian ungkap pelatih Graham Arnold menjelang laga kedua menghadapi Suriah

Australia akan melawan Suriah pada pertandingan kedua Grup B di Stadion Jassim Bin Hamad Doha, Qatar pada Kamis (18/1/2023) sore mulai pukul 18.30 WIB.

The Socceroos memulai kampanyenya di Piala Asia 2023 dengan mengalahkan India 2-0 pada Sabtu pekan lalu. Namun, mereka harus menunggu hingga menit ke-50 untuk memecah kebuntuan lewat gol dari Jackson Irvine.

Australia sejatinya memiliki salah satu pemain tertinggi di turnamen ini atas nama pemain bertahan Harry Souttar yang memiliki tinggi badan hingga 6 kaki dan 6 inci (1,98 meter). Arnold ingin para pemainnya memanfaatkan keuntungan dari tinggi badan mereka ini.

“Bola-bola mati (set-pieces) kami tidak bagus saat melawan India,” ujar Arnold seperti dikutip media Qatar berbahasa Inggris, The Peninsula, Rabu (17/1/2024).

“Kami memiliki banyak tendangan sudut dan itu mungkin salah satu kekuatan kami. Kami hanya perlu meningkatkannya sedikit,” Arnold menambahkan.  

Australia menembus 16 besar Piala Dunia 2022 yang juga berlangsung di Qatar. Langkah mereka terhenti di sana setelah takluk dari Argentina yang dimotori sang megabintang Lionel Messi.

The Socceroos yang secara fisik mengesankan, adalah salah satu kandidat juara pada Piala Asia edisi ke-18 ini. Clean sheet mereka melawan India menjadi yang kelima beruntun. 

Sejak kalah 0-1 dari Inggris dalam uji coba pada 13 Oktober 2023, Australia selalu memenangi lima laga berikutnya – termasuk satu di Piala Asia 2023 – tanpa pernah kemasukan. 

Terkait teknik bermain, bek sayap Aziz Behich mengatakan, Arnold juga selalu menekankan pentingnya “bertahan sebagai sebuah tim”.

“Ketika kami menekan atau dalam blok, kami pastikan kami sangat kompak dan menyulitkan lawan. Terutama sejak Arnie datang, kami telah banyak berkembang dalam hal itu,” kata Behich. 

Behich adalah bagian dari tim Australia yang memenangi Piala Asia 2015 yang kala itu digelar di rumah sendiri, setelah mengalahkan Korea Selatan di final dengan skor 2-1 lewat perpanjangan waktu.

Full-back berusia 33 tahun itu juga mengatakan dia “ingin melakukannya lagi” dan yakin mereka mampu mewujudkannya. 

“Kami mempunyai skuad yang hebat, kami mengawali turnamen dengan kemenangan, itu selalu penting. Sekarang kami sudah melupakan India dan tantangan berikutnya adalah Suriah. Jadi, fokuslah sepenuhnya pada Suriah,” ujarnya.

Saat ini Australia memimpin Grup B dengan 3 poin (hasil menang atas India) setelah Suriah dan Uzbekistan bermain imbang 0-0 pada laga pertama.
