And also use it when we play this high-octane pressing and attacking-minded game.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes we\u2019re a bit fatigued and tired in the game \u2013 to be carried by the fans, and to be able to put those extra runs in \u2026 to be energetic and high intensity, that\u2019s the football we\u2019re always going to play no matter who we play against.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How will the team cope with the noise from outside?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow, we will bring it all on because we all want to unite and connect with the fans any bring it in,\u201d the coach added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to opinions about things we do, whether it\u2019s about the line-up or tactics, then we need to shut it out and believe in what we have done for two years and stick to what we have always done \u2013 nothing new, don\u2019t listen too much and believe in what we have done and prepared for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Defender Ellie Carpenter said she is excited about playing in front of a sell-out crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat just gives me goosebumps talking about it. I don\u2019t think many of us have played in front of more than 50 or 60 thousand people,\u201d she said. \u201cThe feeling (on Friday) is you\u2019re going to think, \u2018woah, this is incredible\u2019, and then having in the back of your mind next week is going to be double this,\u201d Carpenter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen can I ever play in front of my home country, my family like this ever again, so (I\u2019m) just making the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gustavsson expects to field his World Cup line-up in Friday\u2019s friendly against France, though some players such as Alanna Kennedy, Clare Polkinghorne and Tameka Yallop would have limited game time. Forward Kyah Simon is unlikely to feature as she continues her recovery from a serious knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it will be a good indicator of the starting line-up but also finishing line-up,\u201d Gustavsson added. \u201cThe one thing that will be different is because it\u2019s a send-off game and the last before the World Cup; I\u2019m also going to consider any type of niggles and minutes played because it\u2019s all about the Ireland game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this was a quarter-final, I\u2019d probably treat game time and players differently, so you will see some adjustment according to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australia has played at seven World Cups, reaching the round of 16 in the last edition in 2019. The team\u2019s finish has been the quarter-finals, which they reached in 2007, 2011 and 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/manasipathak-1\/2023\/07\/13\/womens-world-cup-co-host-australia-fueled-by-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia head coach Tony Gustavsson said the Women\u2019s World Cup co-hosts will use the weight of expectations as fuel as they prepare to face France in the final warm-up game before the tournament begins next week.
