Everyone has a point to prove in round six of the Hyundai A-League, and Australian Football Weekly is getting in on the action.
In this week’s The Full90, your official matchday program, Sydney FC striker Mark Bridge says he has to become more selfish in front of goal and take more opportunities if he’s to help fire the Sky Blues back to the top of the table after their first loss of the season to Gold Coast United.
Adelaide United import Lloyd Owusu has set the league alight with his goal-scoring dance moves, but what does the big Englishman really think of the A-League, his team-mates and his new life in South Australia?
After spending time in Portugal and with the Qantas Socceroos, it seems like we’ve been waiting forever for Kaz Patafta to fulfil his potential – but now it looks like he’s finally getting the support he needs from Newcastle Jets coach Branko Culina.
It’s been a tough start to the season for Melbourne Victory and stand-in captain Rodrigo Vargas has shouldered much of the responsibility for recent performances. But the centre-back says the defending champions must get back to winning ways against Wellington Phoenix this weekend.
Of all Perth Glory’s new imports, perhaps the best success has come in the back line, with Andy Todd and Chris Coyne giving David Mitchell’s side a rock-solid base to take them into the finals, and Todd says he’s out to leave his mark on the A-League club.
Plus, we have an exclusive chat with Socceroo David Carney about his move to Holland, we look into the tactical changes that have taken Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea to the top of the Premier League, and find out who-s planning to krump in Gosford. All this plus Season 2 of the National Youth League kicks off, Andy Harper’s column, the latest news and views from the EPL, La Liga and Serie A.
