The Australian team must cross two obstacles if they want to reach the Qatar 2022 World Cup. First, the ‘Kangaroos’ are obliged to beat the United Arab Emirates (Tuesday, June 7) and if they get that step, they will have to defeat the team Peruvian (Monday 13 of that month).
In this sense, the team led by Graham Arnold presented the list of those summoned for the commitment against UAE. In this regard, the technical director called 29 players led by midfielder Ajdin Hrustic who was champion of the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt.
During the press conference, the DT of the ‘Socceroos’ explained the reason why he summoned several footballers. “We have selected a great team for various reasons, but above all because many of our players have been in great form for their clubs”, he explained.
“Also, with a number of players going into the UAE game on yellow cards, we needed to make sure we weren’t caught short at any point.”, he added.
In the same way, he highlighted the virtues of his pupils and stressed that they will manage to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. “Just like in 2017 and 2005, I have full confidence that our guys will get through the playoff system and secure Australia a place in the next World Cup.”.
