“The reality is that you need to be able to match that and to adjust to play effectively against that. You have got to balance that out by looking at where the opportunities are to hurt them. A lot of that is to play a similar kind of game to them when we get the ball forward early and get one-on-one match-ups with their defenders.”Hayley Raso was one of several Matildas to come under heavy attention in their first clash with old foes Brazil.in Brisbane.
“Hopefully having played against it the players will be a bit more familiar. Definitely you look back at the game and there were a number of close opportunities that we had to get behind them, stretch them and move them around, and we were either just off with the pass or they fouled us. Hopefully we can look to do that part of the game a little bit better.
