The Socceroos defender says his life of struggle and success helps him keep perspective ahead of Australia’s pressure match against Tunisia
“Obviously we want to win the game, there’s no doubt about it, and I think we have it in our squad. If we match them in terms of intensity and desire I think we will win.”
“I’m not a technician,” he says. “I’m not a guy that’s gonna dribble at 10 players – I don’t have that ability in me. But I’ve got that heart and desire that no one else can match.”
