Do you want him to come and say a little for you?

Who are you? Yeah, who are you? Michael Vought, number one goalkeeper.

No, like in England, you know what squad number? No, but now you go and do it.

Now you go and do it.

Good luck.

Let's put a coffee on this.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah.

What has been the secret for you this season, Michael, in terms of having the trust of Coach Corica but also, you know, finding your groove in this Auckland FC team? What, what do you put your success down to?

Um, yeah, obviously Goldy, very good goalkeeper coach.

Um, just training hard I guess.

And I, I don't really know.

I think that for a goalkeeper the biggest thing is, uh, matches and playing well builds confidence and, you know, I think I've got experience now at my age.

But I'd say just the, the support the coaches have gave me and all, and all my teammates and that.

And then ultimately when you play well and in the next game you play well, and then you kind of just build confidence and momentum.

Does it feel like that now, getting that extra game, having the drama of that shootout kind of really lit a fire under this side?

So I'd say those things.

Does it feel like that now, getting that extra game, having the drama of that shootout kind of really lit a fire under this side?

How tough was it to mentally get ready for extra time after conceding so late and thinking, hey, we've got this, and then having it snatched away?

Yeah, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was tough.

I think that we were 30 seconds away from getting it done and for it to happen, and probably the last kick of the game was tough, but...

I just think it shows how resilient we are.

I think it's easier to say that, but in moments like that, that's when you really see how resilient you are as a team.

I think in the extra time, we probably had the better of the chances and that just showed how well we bounced back.

In that moment, it obviously was difficult and we just had to which I think we did well and just concentrate on the next 30 minutes.

What have been the keys to the defensive solidity of the team this season?

H- how tough was it to mentally get ready for extra time after conceding so late and thinking, "Hey, we've got this," and then having it snatched away?

Yeah.

I'd be lying if I, if I didn't say it was tough.

I think that, you know, we were 30 seconds away from getting it done and, and it- for it to happen, and probably the last kick of the game was tough.

But, you know, I just think it shows how resilient we are.

I think it's easier to say that.

But in moments like that, that's when you really see how resilient you are as a team.

Uh, what have been the keys to, to the defensive solidity of the team this season?
