MELBOURNE STILL CONFIDENT

A lot has been questioned over the ability and the age of the Melbourne victory squad, but the team and the coach are extremely confident of making it into the finals this season.

Melbourne victory captain Adrian Leijer has come out with the statement saying that he feels that Melbourne victory are very close to putting on a winning run that will make them real contenders for the A-League this season. Melbourne victory are not far away from making it into the top six, but they also have a very poor form at the moment under new coach Jim Magilton.

Jim Magilton took over Melbourne victory recently and he has guided the team in five winless matches, which has put real doubt over their ability to qualify for the A-league finals. Melbourne victory will be taking on Central Coast Mariners in their next match, while it will be Brisbane Roar in the match. Taking on the league leaders and the second placed team is going to be real tough test for Melbourne victory.

However, their captain Adrian Leijer has come out with the statement that he is fully convinced that a victory will be able to turn their season around and finish in the finals of the A-League.

“In a season it’s important to get off to a good start, or to get a good run of consecutive wins, and we haven’t been able to do that this season. Without that, I suppose confidence drops. But we’ve got to get ourselves out of this and we still believe within the group we’ve got seven games, and we can get in that top six,” Leijer said. Melbourne victory’s older players have come under fire recently, but they are expected to bring all their experience over the next few matches.
