Holger Osieck reveals his vision

The Socceroos coach and captain spoke in Sydney on Monday about not under-estimating Oman, but the German also discussed his 'complex' outlook for the team's futureAustralia coach Holger Osieck has urged his side to remain patient in Tuesday's 2014 World Cup qualifier against Oman and reiterated his desire for the Socceroos to play his brand of adaptable football.The Socceroos easily accounted for Malaysia 5-0 in a friendly on Friday with a third-minute Luke Wilkshire strike getting them off to the perfect start.However, speaking at a press conference in Sydney on Monday morning ahead of Tuesday's game with Paul Le Guen's side, Osieck said beating Oman wouldn't come in the first five minutes."I think it's a basic element of our game, to keep the patience, no matter who we play," he said. "You can never win a game in the first five minutes."It takes much more input in order to go through and I think we are getting there. The understanding between the boys and myself is really improving from day to day."The German coach has previously discussed his desire to get the Socceroos playing his brand of football and he expanded on that "complex" idea."It is a complex issue and if I were to explain it in detail we would have to extend the time we have rented this room here,” he said. "As I keep saying, it sounds very profane but I'm looking for football players. Everybody from outside might say 'what is he talking about, does he know what's going on?' To me a football player is what they call in Latin pars pro toto, a part that stands for everything."Whatever a player's individual ability, he also has to have tactical adaptability, a psychological and mental strength and the bounce-back mentality."It's really a very complex thing I'm looking into and that's why I said that a player is part of the whole thing.”Socceroos skipper Lucas Neill spoke about Oman, who Australia faced twice in qualifying for the 2011 Asian Cup, winning narrowly on both occasions.”They are very difficult and we know they can cause problems with their pace and the speed with which they break on the counter," Neill said. "We will have to play to our best potential on the night otherwise we will be embarrassed.”Meanwhile, Oman boss Le Guen revealed he watched the Socceroos against Malaysia in Canberra and was impressed by what he saw."The Socceroos were much quicker and faster than the Malaysians," he told the Oman Observer. "Seeing the Socceroos' fighting spirit, I made two-three adjustments in our approach so that somehow the same spirit could be inculcated in our boys."I have asked them to follow the never-say-die-spirit and fight until the end in this crucial match."
