Tony Popovic expects more confident Socceroos in second clash with New Zealand
The Socceroos coach, Tony Popovic, expects his team to play with more "confidence and belief" in their second clash against New Zealand. In the first match, Australia struggled to break down the All Whites until they brought on young substitutes Nestory Irankunda, Mohamed Toure, and Max Balard, who impressed with their energy off the bench. However, Popovic is not certain to start these dynamic young talents in the upcoming match in Auckland. The Socceroos will aim to be more confident and assertive in their second outing against their trans-Tasman rivals.
