Winger Hayley Raso says Australia are relishing the weight of expectation as Women's Asian Cup hosts and shrugged off concerns the players have had little time to adapt to Joe Montemurro's game plan. The Matildas are chasing their first Asian Cup title since 2010 and head into the 12-nation tournament starting on Sunday with no tune-up matches and with players arriving late due to club commitments.
