Statement by Khazri (Tunisia player)
"I give little importance to the record of the top scorer of the national team. Frankly, I attach very little importance to it. As I like to say, I'm basically not a striker. I simply score goals because I like to score them, I'm often well placed and people put me in a good mood. I'm not obsessed with the goal at all. Being the second best goal scorer in the national team is already very nice and I'm proud of it. I don't have this idea in mind to go for the record. If we get out of the groups without me scoring a single goal, I'll sign with both hands and feet."
Statement by Marco Tilio (Australia player)
"When I got the news that I wasn't on the team, I was devastated. And now I'm here, even the week I wasn't guaranteed to be on this team, I was just doing everything I could to make sure I was ready to be ready to perform my best, if I get called. after that, I'm ready to take advantage of the opportunity. And I really feel for Boyle. He's done a lot for this country and helped qualify for this World Cup. We will just go out and play, we have enough quality in this side to make something happen in this game and we have every confidence that we will get the three points. I think Tunisia is a great team, but I think we focus on ourselves and that's the most important thing, we focus on ourselves and the performance we can produce.
Player to watch in Australia
Mooy has been a constant presence in midfield for most of the last decade for Australia and his importance and relevance was reinforced during the World Cup playoffs. The midfielder arrived in Qatar unable to play a single game in the four months due to injury, although he did start the opening game against France.
Player to watch in Tunisia
Wahbi Khazri is the leader of this team in which he made his debut in 2013 and has played more than 70 matches in the jersey of his country. The 31-year-old Montpellier striker has scored two goals and an assist in Ligue 1 this season and has scored three goals in this 2022 for Tunisia.
How does Australia arrive?
Australia is playing in its sixth World Cup. It will seek to equal or improve its best result, which was reaching the round of 16 in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Australia qualified for the World Cup in Qatar thanks to a playoff. It played its match against Peru and through a penalty shootout tiebreaker in a game that ended 0-0 in regular time. In the Asian Cup they qualified to the round of 16 as second in group B, faced Uzbekistan in the round of 16 and in the quarterfinals they faced the United Arab Emirates and were eliminated by that team in a game that ended 1-0. In their first match of the Qatar 2022 World Cup they were ahead against the reigning World Champions France, but were eventually defeated 4-1 against France and right now they occupy the last position in group D.
How does Tunisia arrive?
The Tunisian National Team in its last match before the World Cup defeated Iran in the friendly match. In June, they won the Kirin Cup after beating Japan 3-0. They qualified for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after beating Mali in the play-off, thanks to Sissako's own goal in the first leg, which gave them the qualification. They want to surprise and qualify for the round of 16 after losing in the group stage in the last edition. In their first match they managed to get a point and are currently second in group D.
