SURRISE START

The Melbourne Victory manager Ange Postecoglou has said that he is extremely surprised at the start made by the Western Sydney Wanderers. The club are currently in the sixth position, which will enable them to play in the playoffs if they maintain this position come the end of the season. This is quite impressive start made by the time according to the Melbourne Victory manager, who has recently taken over from Brisbane Roars. Melbourne Victory, themselves, sit in the third position just his points behind the leaders Adelaide United. This is certainly a poor start for Melbourne Victory, who were expected to challenge for the title this season.

However, the six point advantage that Adelaide United hold can be recovered according to the manager of Melbourne Victory. He has also expressed his surprise at the way the opponents this weekend – Sydney Wanderers – have made to the life in the A- League. This is the biggest aspect according to the former Brisbane Roars manager. He has said that he knows how difficult it is to construct a team from the scratch, which is capable of winning the title. Even though it may be a while before Sydney start winning titles, Postecoglou is in glowing praise of the team.

“I think they’ve been outstanding to be honest. They’ve been not just competitive, but played some great football and they’ve been great for the comp. I know how tough it is, what they’ve done. If anything, I thought they may have started tailing off. But they seem to be covering the absences they’ve had, and the foreigners have fitted in pretty well,” said the Melbourne Victory manager ahead of the match with Sydney Wanderers. Three points from this match is extremely crucial if Melbourne Victory are looking to catch Adelaide United at the top of the table.
