After scoring on his Socceroos debut, Tete Yengi is adamant there is more to come as he works to keep close friend and starting striker Mohamed Toure on his toes.
Yengi, 25, started against Switzerland and scored on debut to deliver Australia's equaliser in the 1-1 draw on Saturday (Sunday AEST) in San Diego.
"You work hard for moments like this," Yengi said.
"Everything I've done in my career leads to this, I guess, and more.
"But I'm enjoying my time here so far and I'm ready for whenever the boss (coach Tony Popovic) needs me.
"I know I'm here for a reason, so I've just got to go out there and show it."
Machida Zelvia striker Yengi has relished working with the likes of former Socceroos captain and current assistant coach Mile Jedinak as he continues to round out his game.
