It seems of late that I seem to be appearing in the media a little of late and have even attending my first ever press conference. Here are a recent example of me being a bit of a media whore:
In Australian FourFourTwo’s Fifth Birthday Edition that’s out now I contributed to their memorable Harry Kewell moments piece:
And in close-up.
It was more of the same as Melbourne once again lost on the road to Perth Glory. Expecting the worst I decided to not watch the game live and instead watch Inglourious Basterds instead, choosing instead to watch a replay knowing the result. For my thoughts on the game check out my latest blog for Australian FourFourTwo.
A day after my latest blog about Archie Thompson appeared on the Australian FourFourTwo website, a story along similar lines appears on the Sportal website.
I said:
“This self-made pressure appeared to be playing its part in the first two games of the season as Thompson looked to be trying a little too hard and not pulling his weight in a leadership type of role, especially in the absence of Kevin Muscat. Also evident was his frustration at team-mates, match officials and opposition defenders when things didn’t quite go his way.”
He said:
“I think it was just, personally, I was putting too much pressure on myself, I felt. Instead of going out there and enjoying myself like I usually do, I was caught up in the World Cup hype and everything like that and I forgot about the smile on the face”
Hmmm . . . .
It has been a fairly quiet off-season for Melbourne Victory fans with no big rumours to speak of whatsover. This “softly, softly, easy does it” approach is the subject of my latest blog for Australian FourFourTwo and you can read it here.
