Melbourne Heart FC Head Coach John van ‘t Schip discusses his side’s win over Sydney FC at the Sydney Football Stadium.
We know that we-re in that situation where every game we play now is like a final and Thursday night we were a little bit lucky I think, especially in the second half.
In the first half, we played well, we were dictating and creating a few chances. But in the second half we struggled, and then you need a little bit of luck, and along the season, we missed a bit of that luck and today it was there, so we are very happy of course.
That-s why they are on the bench, to try and bring some new fresh blood and I think they did that. It was a good move from Gerald. He has of course the feet to that, and the vision. Adrian has the quick run and it was a good finish.
Adrian did very well. He has played from the first Victory game until now, and I think he needed a little bit of a rest. He came in with his fresh legs, and fresh mind and deserved to score the winner.
We want to make a difference if it-s in the beginning, if it-s half way. Of course, when you score at the end it-s even better as it decreases the chance of the opponent equalising.
But it-s not that we talk about that. We had a good win last week and we believe in what we are doing, and that-s something we took from last week, to keep on going for 95 minutes and that is what we did today as well.
