After Mary Fowler's tough outing against Switzerland, interim Matildas coach Tom Sermanni is determined to put her in more dangerous positions against Germany.
The Matildas will hope to get Mary Fowler on the ball more than during the 1-1 draw with Switzerland last weekend.The challenge facing interim coach Tom Sermanni is how to make that happen more often.Sermanni is determined to have gifted Manchester City star Fowler — who looms as the future of the Matildas ' attack — firing in their next friendly against world number four Germany on Monday night .
"But with the type of game it's going to be against Germany, I think that's an opportunity for her to get into more space, to be able to get on the ball more, and hopefully to create more for us."While Fowler is excellent in tight spaces, Sermanni was asked if players were potentially reluctant to give her the ball in those positions due to a fear of turning it over.
But after the Germans beat England 4-3 at Wembley, he expects a far more open, attacking affair in Duisberg than the Swiss encounter. "It's going to be a tough environment and interestingly, when you look at the Matildas certainly over the last couple of years, they're probably just in an environment where the fans have been on their side," Sermanni said.
