With the Grand Final looming closer, Sydney FC’s General Manager of Player Welfare hosted an express Twitter chat today. During the 30 minutes we learnt who got him into football, the most critical skill a midfielder needs and just how the players are faring ahead of the big day.
Simon Bernardino: Both teams have individuals who could pull something out the bag at any time but where do Sydney have to dominate? We have great players all over the park and are confident ahead of this weekend’s game. #SydneyFanChat
Rebecca: Terry, Do you have any pre-game rituals or habits that you use to do, before kick-off? The night before the game I’d always sleep in my spare room! #SydneyFanChat
