A-League Men News
Good things apparently come to those who wait because, three weeks into the A-League season, Sydney FC has only gone and dropped arguably the competition's best kit.
Juan Mata has told ESPN that while his current focus is Melbourne Victory, he is open to investing in the A-League in the future after exploring buying into multiple clubs over the offseason.
Former Manchester United star Juan Mata has told ESPN that this budding momentum, combined with an easing of the suffocating pressure that had surrounded the squad, can augur continued success.
Juan Mata's A-League revival might just be the story the competition needs, while a number of Socceroos veterans' stocks are sliding.
Perth Glory have sacked head coach David Zdrilic just two matches into the new A-League Men's season.
