Australian defender: We are not afraid of confrontation and did not intentionally injure Pulisic. I hope he is fine

Australian defender Jason Gerea was interviewed recently. He stated that he did not intentionally injure Pulisic.

In the United States' 2-1 victory over Australia, Pulisic was injured twice after being knocked down by Jeria twice. Jeria said: "I didn't mean to hurt Pulisic or anything, but this game was very fierce and I heard he was injured, so I hope he is okay."

"The United States is also a very physical team, and we expected that, and we are not a country that will be intimidated by physicality. This is preparing for the World Cup, and you only have a limited opportunity to play in a game like this, against an opponent like this. Every second of the game counts and should not Think of it as just a friendly match or a practice match or something. You have to play these games like big games, your mentality has to be like that, so your physical output has to be like that too. "

Talking about the team's mentality, Jeria said: "Be prepared for the battle and stand up for your teammates. "

The two sides put a lot of effort into confrontation in this game. American defender Chris Richards said: "Australia should feel lucky because this is just a friendly match, and I was ready to take action. If the referee hadn't given me that damn yellow card, I might have killed the opponent. "
