These weren’t open goal signings... yet almost every single one of Auckland FC’s kiwi players has turned up as an improved version of themselves (and the one who didn’t got booted out). That’s good coaching, that’s good tactics, that’s good squad chemistry, that’s good leadership, the awesome enthusiastic support from the stands has definitely helped too. It’s also yet another dose of proof that there are plenty more footballers in New Zealand capable of playing professionally than are currently employed to do so. Don’t even worry about it. Auckland FC put their faith in that fact and now look where they are.
