Former rep highlights weaknesses in team PNG

The PNG woman’s soccer team needs to step up their attack if they wanted to be competitive in the region.

“Their opponents are always tough and aggressive and their girls must step up if they want to be serious representative games in contenders in the Oceania region.”

Former National midfielder Kule Matu said our girls were dwarfed by their New Zealand opponents who were also aggressive and tough.

"We need to be very tough and out muscle our opponents and there is no reason to be ashamed.”

"We were not aggressive and competitive enough. We also need to communicate well on the field. Those were some of our weaknesses," he said.

Kule, said there is a lot of areas they need to work on.

Kule played his last international game during the 1991 SP Games in Lae. He retired soon after to settle at his home in Bumayong.

He currently assists the technical staff of Morobe United in the NSL games.
