Australia, known for their attacking prowess, will look to assert their dominance against a Saudi Arabia team that is solid defensively and will aim to frustrate their opponents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Trevor Morgan\u2019s Young Socceroos have shown their capabilities throughout the tournament, netting 15 goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur team is looking forward to the match and we are ready to deliver. We do the same as we always do for any match, which is to prepare how to win,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe obviously know Saudi Arabia, but they also know us. We met each other only a few months ago (in the Qualifiers) and It's important that we recognise their journey they've had to be in the final, and the qualities they have. But our job is to win, and so that is all we do.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Australia, it\u2019s an opportunity to continue their rise on the continental stage and secure their first title since Ange Postecoglou guided the senior team to the 2015 AFC Asian Cup title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don\u2019t feel nervous at all. I think we're all here in youth football, all the coaches, and of course the objective to win. But if I reflect on the challenges we've faced to be in this position, and the boys' quality and character to overcome challenges, I just look forward to every match we play,\u201d added Morgan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sebastian Esposito, who featured in all five previous games, is relishing the opportunity to lead his team to the title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s been an exciting journey. We\u2019re ready to go. We\u2019ve had a strong tournament and we\u2019re fully prepared for tomorrow. We know Saudi Arabia\u2019s quality, but we\u2019re focused on our performance,\" said captain Esposito.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Marcos Soares has seen Saudi Arabia grow from strength to strength and believes his team will be ready to take on the challenge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe are delighted to be in the final and want to thank the Saudi Football Federation for all the hard work in getting us here,\u201d said Soares. \u201cAustralia are a tough team to beat, we know that because we met during the qualifiers. However, we will do everything we can to succeed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe had a lot of nerves before we played the quarter-final game against China PR but after surpassing that and qualifying for the FIFA U20 World Cup, the pressure has come off.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saudi Arabia are aiming for a fourth title, having previously won in 1986, 1992 and 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI believe it will be a game between two contrasting teams \u2013 one that scores a lot of goals, which we have been watching for a long time, and another that is known for strong defence,\u201d added Soares.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saudi Arabia midfielder Rakan Alghamdi echoed Soares' sentiments and believes his team is ready to face Australia head-on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
