'No problem' if no-one backs the Socceroos - Troisi

Australia will face the third and fourth-ranked nations in world football over the next week but remain confident of victory

Socceroos midfielder James Troisi has embraced Ange Postecoglou's target of winning the Confederations Cup as Australia travel to Russia.

Postecoglou conceded on Wednesday that his goal of winning the World Cup warm-up event could sound "ridiculous" after the Socceroos were beaten 4-0 by Brazil earlier this week.

But the 51-year-old coach refused to temper his ambition and Troisi is on the same page.

"We want to test us against the best and I'm sure there are not many backing us, but that's how all of us have had it through most of our career, so there's no problem with that," the attacking midfielder said.
