SWINDON Town’s Massimo Luongo has played down transfer talk after lifting the Asian Cup trophy with Australia.

The joy of guiding his home nation to the continental prize on home soil may only just be sinking in but Luongo has already turned his sights to more success with Swindon.

Luongo scored the opening goal in Australia’s 2-1 extra-time win and picked up the most valuable player of the tournament for his two goals and four assists.

The 22-year-old’s exploits Down Under have put him firmly in the spotlight and Swindon have already batted off a bid of nearly £2milllion for the midfielder but his focus is getting Swindon into the Championship.

When asked about his future after today’s game he said: “Short term will be get my team (Swindon Town) promoted.

“I’m back there in four days so just focused on that and not worried about a move or anything like that.

“And on the other side I want to be a Socceroo for as long as I can as well.”

Luongo put Ange Postecoglou’s side in front in the first half when he scored a peach of a goal.

After picking the ball up 30 yards out he turned and let fly from outside the box, leaving Kim Jin-hyeon with no chance in the South Korea goal.

Australia had thought they had won the game in normal time but with just two minutes to play Son Heung-min stunned the crowd of 77,000 to take the game to extra-time.

The victory was secured though in the 105th minute when substitute James Troisi scored from close range to spark scenes of celebration Down Under at the final whistle.

“There’s not much to say,” said Luongo when he was asked what it felt like to be champions.

“We set on this journey before the World Cup and I think the boss put the main thing forward that we have to believe in ourselves because the boys we have and the type of group we have is different than most clubs and national teams.

“He said together we can make history and we have.

“No words can describe it because everyone put a shift in from (goalkeeper) Matty Ryan to our strikers, everyone did their job.

“It went to extra time so things just don’t happen so easily for us, so it definitely one to remember.”

When asked about his goal he added: “It was a good ball from Trent Sainsbury and I got a good turn and had a bit of pace behind me.

“I don’t remember much but I had the confidence for a shot on goal. It was in the moment and pulled it off.

“I definitely enjoyed that on. That’s when we’re the most dangerous, picking up the ball in the hole, turning and running at defenders.”
