Australia's tactical style also has certain limitations, with their over-reliance on high balls and physical confrontation against technical teams tend to fall into passivity, with a relatively weak midfield playmaking and a lack of effective tandem and attacking combing, which also limits their attacking effectiveness
Saudi Arabia: A "roadblock" that cannot be ignored due to solid defense and orderly organization
