## Interview with Matildas Coach Tom Sermanni
**Interviewer:** Tom, the Matildas suffered a tough loss against Brazil. How will the team respond to their physically demanding style of play in the next match?
**Tom Sermanni:** Look, Brazil presented a real challenge with their physicality. It’s something we don’t encounter as often, and it took us by surprise. But we’ve analyzed the game, we understand their tactics now, and we’re ready to adjust.
**Interviewer:** Some might say “fight fire with fire”. Do you agree with that approach?
**Tom Sermanni:** To a certain extent, yes. We need to match their intensity and physical presence. But we also need to stick to our game plan, maintain our possession, and exploit any weaknesses we identified in the first match. It’s about finding the right balance.
**Interviewer:** Do you think this physicality will impact the Matildas’ performance in future matches, perhaps against teams with a less physical style?
**Tom Sermanni:** That’s a good question. Every team presents a different challenge, and we need to adapt accordingly. This experience against Brazil will only make us stronger and more prepared for whatever comes our way.
