'This group is quite resilient': Ufuk Talay pleased as Wellington ... (The Inner Sanctum)

Wellington Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay praised his squad's resiliency following a tough scorching road trip in Perth.

“But we made some poor decisions on the pass or the execution wasn’t good, but overall it’s not easy coming to Perth. “Not Covid, but ‘Wayno’ [Waine] was just sick, Tim Payne woke up and was feeling a little bit sick, he was throwing up his guts early in the morning, he felt a little bit better but then it started again so we just left him back at the hotel,” he said. “It’s a lot warmer than what we expected, Perth’s always warm anyway, but we don’t get this heat back in Wellington, but overall [I’m] happy we walk away with a point and we continue the momentum of being unbeaten since we’ve come back from the World Cup break.” “I think we could have been a lot better with the ball at times and even in the second half, I think there were some good counter moments that we had. “I don’t think it was our best performance but overall I think the boys worked hard, we went down a goal, and I think the first time we actually put the ball down and played we scored from it,” he said. “So if there’s going to be a change in the style, it generally comes from me, but the players know to go out there and execute the game plan.”
