Nervousness and lack of experience: Ange explains defeat to Chile

Australia recognizes the technical merits of the Chilean team, but says that his team could have left the field with better outcome                                                                                                                                                                                         General disappointment.So Ange Postecoglou coach summed up the feeling of the Australian team after losing 3-1 to Chile in Cuiabá, in the first round of Group B of the World Cup. The commander of Socceroos said the team was able to recover well from the two goals conceded early in the match, but attributed the defeat to nervousness and lack of experience of the cast.

- In the first 15 minutes we were on the boom a little impressed with everything. Maybe it was just nervousness at first, and then we tried to press them. Only run after two goals was difficult. The players were feeling pretty good and thought they could take advantage. But we pay a price when they fail, and they were very disappointed.

After recognizing the talent of the Chilean players, who labeled it the "world standard", Ange examined the following Group B clash against the Netherlands. To measure forces with the Dutch, the technician will follow the betting chips in striker Tim Cahill, who against Chile made his fourth goal in the world Australia.

- Our goals are the same, we want to compare with the best. Everyone is saying that this group has the best teams in the cup. The Dutch will be a big test for us, and we want to compare ourselves to them.
