Teo PellizzeriHOST
We said that the opening game of the season between Sydney FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers was sadly going to be a nil all draw.
Teo PellizzeriHOST
And I gotta say, Ufuk Talay and also Patrick Kisnorbo did absolutely nothing to, uh, to disavow that fear.
Teo PellizzeriHOST
Um, it's a real shame to have 30,000 fans and send so many of them home disappointed.
Teo PellizzeriHOST
My, my personal experience, I had the A-League open, and I had two different tabs open, uh, on my monitors with the two Australia championship games that night.
Adam HawseHOST
Watch this one, the Sydney derby." But not everyone agrees.
Adam HawseHOST
Have a listen here to Wanderers coach, Ufuk Talay, the former coach of Sydney FC.
Ufuk TalaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[whooshing] No, I'm not a big fan of the derby being the season opener.
Ufuk TalaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think the A-League has a big break anyway.
David WeinerHOST
It was really interesting.
David WeinerHOST
I was in the post-game presser and Ufuk Talay said that Sydney changed their game for us because of the high press and the high football and the high line they play.
David WeinerHOST
And I asked Patrick Kisnorbo, did you think you were surprising the Wanderers because you'd decided to go long? And I feel like Kisnorbo, for all you said about his teams playing around, I think he was very deliberate and was actually reasonably happy with the way they executed theirs.
David WeinerHOST
One says they planned it.
Joey KayGUEST
But [chuckles] I say it every year, but on paper, [chuckles] we have gotta have a, if not the best, the top three squad in the league.
Joey KayGUEST
I was very, um, hesitant with the, or critical really, I'll be honest, about Ufuk Talay's appointment.
Joey KayGUEST
Mm.
Joey KayGUEST
But during preseason, things I've heard behind the scenes at the club, I think it's a really good fit.
Andrew LucasCORRESPONDENT
And a couple of good storylines out of this one.
Andrew LucasCORRESPONDENT
The former Sydney FC coach, Ufuk Talay, he coached the Sky Blues last year before he e- entered the club, and he's now the coach of the Wanderers.
Andrew LucasCORRESPONDENT
So he was returning to Allianz Stadium last night against his former team, so always an interesting one there.
Andrew LucasCORRESPONDENT
They had a couple of injury concerns, the Wanderers, with Brandon Barela, their captain, not playing, and then Alex Gersbach suffering a muscular injury too last night as well.
Harry GrantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, plenty to work on, which is exciting given the fact we come away with a win, but we know sort of where the ceiling is.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And in soccer, Sydney FC says it'll let the fans decide how their former coach is received in the A-League men's season opener on Friday night.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Youfuk Talay quit the Sky Blues last March and subsequently signed a two-year deal with crosstown rivals Western Sydney.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Friday night's derby at Allianz Stadium promises plenty, including Talay facing some hostility from his former team.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Sydney FC defender Jordan Courtney-Perkins says while some want to show Talay what he's missing, his own focus is on the team's performance.
ChiefHOST
Finished fifth last season on 39 points.
ChiefHOST
Obviously had a bit of a changeover towards the end of last season with Patrick Kisnorbo coming in for Ufuk Talay.
ChiefHOST
But look, probably one of those seasons where, and, you know, Sydney FC traditionally do bring in some bigger kind of foreign players and some exciting players, but they probably, you know, not as big as the season before with, um, Douglas Costa, et cetera.
ChiefHOST
But they probably didn't live up to the expectations, Sydney FC, and that's probably what happened with Ufuk Talay being let go towards the end of the season.
ChiefHOST
And then obviously Patrick Kisnorbo got them all the way to the grand final, which they unfortunately for them lost to Auckland FC.
ChiefHOST
So again, look, another manager who came in partway through last season and he's gonna...
