It may be that combined knowledge and experience, that proves the difference between winning and losing when Australia will take on defending champions Germany in the semi-finals at Riverbank Arena tonight after Australia topped Pool A ahead of Great Britain with Germany finishing second in Pool B behind the Netherlands.
When Charlesworth took charge of the men’s team four years ago, he assembled a support staff that would enable him to deliver the same results he achieved with the women during their golden eight year reign winning every Olympic, World Cup and Commonwealth Games gold medal.
In addition to former Olympic medal-winning players Graham Reid, Paul Gaudoin and David Guest he persuaded respected German coach Paul Lissek to come on board. Lissek presided over three Olympic campaigns for Germany winning gold in Barcelona in 1992.
