Just like the match against China in the opening match of the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, the Australian team only needed 2 training sessions. The team with stars playing in Europe adapted very quickly to the weather conditions as well as the playing style of coach Graham Arnold. |

The confidence and comfort of the Australian players were clearly evident when they appeared at My Dinh Stadium on the afternoon of September 6. The players from the land of kangaroos constantly laughed and joked, warming up lightly before starting the tactical drills.

With a physique that is completely superior to the Vietnamese team, coach Graham Arnold's team will choose to play high balls and long balls. However, with what they showed in the victory over China, it can be seen that the Australian players are also skillful, play one-touch and attack very well in the middle.

According to the valuation from the transfer website Transfermarkt, the total value of this team's squad is up to 42.75 million euros (about 1,000 billion VND), which is nearly 10 times higher than the Vietnamese team (4.93 million euros).

The most expensive Australian star at the moment is Aaron Mooy with 7.5 million euros. In the past, this player had a long period of playing in the Premier League for Man City, Huddersfield Town and Brighton. It was not until last year that he moved to China to join the Shanghai SIPG club.

Speaking before the match, coach Graham Arnold affirmed that he did not need to care which Vietnamese player was the most worrying, because Australia's goal was nothing other than to win all 3 points in a match where they completely controlled the ball.
