Yants Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 A-LEAGUE’S CHEEKY VILLAIN TURNS HONDURAS ROOS INFORMER IN his first season in Australia, Fernando Brandan established himself as an A-League villain. Now, he’s teaching Honduras about Tim Cahill and Australian football. The Melbourne City forward, who is currently recovering from a knee reconstruction, spoke to Honduras news site El Diez about playing in the A-League and his experience in Australia. Brandan said while Australia wasn’t a “fast” team, the likes of Aaron Mooy, Mark Milligan and Cahill were important players in terms of distributing the ball. “Australia is very much in control of the ball — it’s not a fast team but it has great players,” Brandan said in the interview. “One is Aaron Mooy, he is a different player — he is very interesting because he distributes well. He and (Mark) Milligan are the best in the midfield. “The speed and explosiveness does not stand out here, they are more about keeping the ball. “They have Tim Cahill who is a player with great experience.” Based off those comments, Brandan said he expected Honduras’ speed and power to give the Australians some trouble. “The matches that I have seen here when they have played against teams like Thailand that are very fast caused problems for Australia,” he said. “From what I’ve seen, the speed can complicate them a bit because they focus on (holding).” When discussing his Melbourne City teammate Cahill, Brandan was full of praise for the Australian’s professionalism and desire to win. “I have not met many players who have that passion, always want to win and have a lot of presence on the pitch — (he) has smart moves, holds the ball very well,” he said. As for who Brandan wanted to see win the qualifier? He elected to reserve his answer. Smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXG Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Disgusting. If anything he actually promoted AU football. Told that it's actually a quality. All those recent attacks on the City (terrible piece of dirt from the fAkeBC as another example) are just an attempt to keep rolling interest in Victory - FFA biggest crowd cash cow.

IIRC up to four over-aged players, including the GK, can be fielded in a National Youth League team. I would expect to see both Fernando and Bruno make their way back into the senior match-day squad via the NYL. We have a great NYL squad this season. The boys kick off this Saturday at the City Football Academy at 3.30 p.m.https://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/news/palatsides-youth-ready-defend-their-title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not there yet but I feel like he's likely to be back before the new year. Either way, the season isn't over until May (if we go all the way) so he can still have a considerable influence on where we finish. If we didn't intend on keeping him I'd wager he'd have been gone earlier when we actually could have used his spot to bring another player in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
