With only four goals from their three Group B matches, the 32-year-old Al Wehda SC player is keen to see the Socceroos attack flourishing as the tournament heads into the business end.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very ready,\u201d said the forward. \u201cWe set out our ambition at the start of the tournament as a group and as a team. We know we can\u2019t take any game lightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we are the favourites, it\u2019s harder for sure. We have shown that we are one of the best in Asia and we have to show our ruthlessness.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can see what Indonesia have done and how they are attacking, so that\u2019s something we have to be aware of and we can\u2019t drop our focus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can nail down that ruthlessness in the final third, we can take our game to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having started in Australia\u2019s opener against India, Goodwin picked up a knock that kept him out of the following two matches iwith Jordan Bos coming in as the replacement.<\/p>\n
Now back to full fitness, Goodwin will be eyeing his 16th cap in this encounter at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, the venue where Australia secured a 1-0 win over Syria in the group stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m training fully today. We took the decision to rest it for this stage of the tournament. Little bit annoying to pick up the knock, now I\u2019m back in contention. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready to go whether it\u2019s from the starting position or the bench, I hope I can have an impact on the game. ”<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my job to bring to the team as an attacking player. Last two years at club and country, that\u2019s the role I see myself, as the creator – whether from open play or set-pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goodwin came into Qatar 2023 on the back of six goals and one assist from 14 matches in the Saudi Pro League and if he can reproduce that form, it would certainly go a long way in helping the 2015 AFC Asian Cup champions produce the ruthlessness that he seeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
