Kewell hopes his players will earn from competing aginst higher rated opposition furing the pre-season campaign.

He said: “I know some of our fans are questioning why we are playing all our friendlies against higher-ranked opposition but, as I reiterated after Saturday’s game, good sides give you harder tests both collectively and individually and that gives us an opportunity to learn and hopefully improve.
