"A lot of European people think the Euros are pretty important - well, it’s the same for the Asian Cup or the African Cup of Nations.”
The Australian tactician also aimed a little dig at Son ahead of the Asia Cup.
“I hope Sonny goes on and finishes runner-up to Australia again, mate,” he said. “I’d be really happy about that.”
