Age grade Matildas teams thread

I think that the system that Montemurro wants to establish is not just talent identification but also putting in place a playing system starting at an early age which is what Japan does.
We don’t have that at the moment so when players get together prior to a tournament they only have a short time to put together a winning system. That’s why players always seem to be playing an individual game.
 
The farm system just refers to the youth teams, doesn’t it? Doesn’t every country promote players from youth teams?
But that’s not a system. Sure, every country would be promoting their most talented but when it comes to playing together they need to have that understanding of each other’s game. That’s not happening at the moment.

The Matildas farm system has domestic training camps which should be instilling the tactical system into the players and allow for a winning system to be put in place when we head into major tournaments, but the current problem we have is that there is no uniformity across the age grade sides which has led to players seemingly playing an individual game instead.

Poor coaching too, maybe.
 


The Young Matildas' starting XI for our quarterfinal against the reigning champions North Korea has been named. Two changes are made from our last group stage match against Japan, with Milly Bennett and Danella Butrus coming in for Emma Dundas and Peta Trimis respectively. Alexia Apostolakis again leads the line as captain, as has been the case for the entirety of our campaign, and Ilona Melegh starts between the sticks.
 
Young Matildas and North Korea now underway in their under-20 Women's Asian Cup quarterfinal, with the Young Matildas kicking from right to left.
 
Pak Ok-I scores in the third minute of the match to give North Korea a 1-0 lead early on and extend her lead in the race for the Golden Boot to seven goals, two clear of Skye Halmarick. Choe Rim-Jong with the assist.
 
Own goal by Alexia Apostolakis to knock us out. This will hurt her chances of moving overseas this season.
 
Two changes for the Young Matildas. Emma Dundas and Daisy Brown coming on in the 69th minute, replacing Skye Halmarick and Zara Kruger respectively.
 
Two more changes for the Young Matildas. Sienna Dale and Amelia Cassar come on in the 80th minute, replacing Talia Younis and Avaani Prakash respectively.
 
Sienna Dale yellow carded in the 87th minute, becoming the first Young Matildas player and second player overall to receive one this match after Pak Ju-Gyong was also yellow carded for a foul.
