Xinhua News Agency, Canberra, September 5 (reporter Bai Xu) Cahill, the first striker of Australian men’s football Young Pioneer team history, recently said that although he was about to officially bid farewell to the national team, he was by no means irreplaceable, because the “Australian kangaroo” talent will not be interrupted, and will produce the next stable and productive shooter like him.
“Don’t worry, there will be no problem with the Australian men’s football team. In fact, I have been helping young players improve for the past four years.” Cahill said in the Australian newspaper on the 5th.
The Australian Football Association announced on the 4th that Cahill will stage a farewell match for the national team. The veteran of “Australian kangaroo” played 107 times on behalf of the national team and scored 50 goals. On November 20th, the Australian team will play a warm-up match with Lebanon at home to prepare for the Asian Cup early next year. At that time, Cahill, who is about to reach the age of 39, will wear a national team jersey for the last time, and accept farewell from home fans.
“Actually it was in the World Cup in Russia, when I was next to alzani (young forward) on the bench. According to the situation on the court, I will tell him what to pay attention to if I play at that time.” Cahill said.
“For example, how to go to the position, how to grab the point to meet the position more reasonable, etc., in fact, is to adjust yourself, ready to appear at any time. The key to the striker is the continuity of the state. If you can score goals in the club, you must bring that feeling to the national team, especially in important matches.”
Although Cahill, who is 38 years old, decided to end his national team career after the World Cup, he will continue his career. This month, he officially joined jamshedbull club in the Indian Super League.
“I have played in the Premier League, the Major League of America, the Super League and Australia. Now, I will go to India, which will be another culture that needs to be integrated. I have always been self-disciplined and in good health. I hope to have my own influence in Yin Chao.”
“This will probably be my last professional contract. I want to do my best, just like my whole football career.” He said.
