You know, started pretty 19 00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:07,827 Speaker 5: pretty badly. 20 00:01:09,187 --> 00:01:11,787 Speaker 6: I've gone through three coaches, but you know, I learned 21 00:01:11,787 --> 00:01:16,067 Speaker 6: so much, you know, mentally, emotionally, physically and to be 22 00:01:16,147 --> 00:01:17,747 Speaker 6: safe on the last day and the last kick of 23 00:01:17,787 --> 00:01:21,347 Speaker 6: the game was amazing and I couldn't sleep until I 24 00:01:21,427 --> 00:01:22,867 Speaker 6: arrived back and back in New Zealand. 25 00:01:23,427 --> 00:01:25,947 Speaker 4: So tell us about that the last few weeks with 26 00:01:26,027 --> 00:01:28,627 Speaker 4: the threat of relegations kind of hanging over the team. 27 00:01:28,867 --> 00:01:30,547 Speaker 4: How much pressure does that put on you as a 28 00:01:30,587 --> 00:01:34,427 Speaker 4: playing group when you're really every point is so precious. 29 00:01:34,747 --> 00:01:37,267 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I can't really describe the pressure, you know, 30 00:01:37,307 --> 00:01:39,467 Speaker 6: because I didn't deal with it obviously when I was 31 00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:43,187 Speaker 6: playing at the Phoenix here. You know, it comes down 32 00:01:43,187 --> 00:01:45,267 Speaker 6: to the playing group. You know, you get nice and 33 00:01:45,547 --> 00:01:47,907 Speaker 6: you get a good group of lads and you're really 34 00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:51,747 Speaker 6: buying together and really fight that one out. But you 35 00:01:51,787 --> 00:01:54,227 Speaker 6: know you're going every week fighting, fighting basically for your life, 36 00:01:54,227 --> 00:01:57,987 Speaker 6: for your family, and it's just crazy work out there. 37 00:01:58,507 --> 00:02:01,107 Speaker 4: How intense is the pressure from the fans and from 38 00:02:01,227 --> 00:02:04,827 Speaker 4: I mean because Italy's football mad, right, the fans just 39 00:02:05,027 --> 00:02:07,667 Speaker 4: that they live and breathe the football club. How intense 40 00:02:07,787 --> 00:02:10,227 Speaker 4: is the pressure? And do you are you able to 41 00:02:10,307 --> 00:02:12,107 Speaker 4: absorb it, block it out? How do you deal with it? 42 00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:14,987 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's tough, you know, even though we're 43 00:02:15,027 --> 00:02:15,627 Speaker 5: a small town. 44 00:02:15,667 --> 00:02:17,507 Speaker 6: You know, every time I would go up to the 45 00:02:17,547 --> 00:02:21,027 Speaker 6: supermarket or grab a coffee, everyone's you know, saying come on, 46 00:02:21,187 --> 00:02:22,787 Speaker 6: you know, the town's behind you. 47 00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:23,787 Speaker 5: Got to do this for the town. 48 00:02:23,827 --> 00:02:27,507 Speaker 6: You know, it's big for Emply, But yeah, I seem 49 00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,827 Speaker 6: to just block it out. And even though I wasn't 50 00:02:29,827 --> 00:02:32,547 Speaker 6: playing as much at the end, and then when I 51 00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:34,347 Speaker 6: once I realized I was playing the last game of 52 00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:37,467 Speaker 6: the season to try to save the club, you know, 53 00:02:39,027 --> 00:02:41,627 Speaker 6: I just thought, you know, it's just just a ninety 54 00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:44,707 Speaker 6: minute game. I kind of like you said, block everything 55 00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:46,547 Speaker 6: out and just play the footy. 56 00:02:46,547 --> 00:02:46,827 Speaker 5: I love. 57 00:02:48,027 --> 00:02:49,307 Speaker 4: So the ball hits the back of the need and 58 00:02:49,347 --> 00:02:53,067 Speaker 4: the ninety third or whatever it is, final whistle goes. 59 00:02:53,107 --> 00:02:55,347 Speaker 4: You're staying up. What are the emotions like and what 60 00:02:55,387 --> 00:02:57,147 Speaker 4: are a few hours after the final whistill like for 61 00:02:57,187 --> 00:02:58,227 Speaker 4: the for the players. 62 00:02:58,547 --> 00:03:02,507 Speaker 5: Yeah, So, to be honest, as the game went on, 63 00:03:02,947 --> 00:03:04,387 Speaker 5: I was just thinking, like, what am I going to 64 00:03:04,467 --> 00:03:04,707 Speaker 5: do now? 65 00:03:05,547 --> 00:03:07,787 Speaker 6: I thought we're gonna go to Siri b you know, 66 00:03:09,067 --> 00:03:11,227 Speaker 6: and then we scored. I just dropped to my dropped 67 00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:15,027 Speaker 6: to my knees. It was an unbelievable feeling of feeling 68 00:03:15,067 --> 00:03:18,107 Speaker 6: I've never you know, never had before. And you know, 69 00:03:18,227 --> 00:03:20,827 Speaker 6: coming back into the change room, people were, you know, celebrating, 70 00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,427 Speaker 6: but at the same time, a lot of them were crying, 71 00:03:23,027 --> 00:03:26,507 Speaker 6: you know, because it was just a crazy week and 72 00:03:26,587 --> 00:03:29,947 Speaker 6: it is tough mentally, very very heavy for everyone, especially with. 73 00:03:29,907 --> 00:03:34,867 Speaker 5: Ones who have got families. But to do it like 74 00:03:34,907 --> 00:03:36,507 Speaker 5: we did, I'll do it all over again. 75 00:03:37,627 --> 00:03:40,227 Speaker 4: How devastating would a drop down to siri b have been? 76 00:03:40,267 --> 00:03:42,827 Speaker 4: Because simply were there, what about three or four years ago? 77 00:03:42,827 --> 00:03:44,667 Speaker 4: Weren't they You know, it's not like you've been always 78 00:03:44,667 --> 00:03:46,707 Speaker 4: in siri Are. But how devastating would it have been 79 00:03:46,707 --> 00:03:47,307 Speaker 4: to drop down? 80 00:03:48,067 --> 00:03:51,867 Speaker 6: No, so the coach was he said, you know, if 81 00:03:51,867 --> 00:03:54,347 Speaker 6: we stayed up, would be would be creating history for 82 00:03:54,427 --> 00:03:57,587 Speaker 6: the club, being four consecutive seasons. So that was a 83 00:03:57,587 --> 00:04:01,307 Speaker 6: real motivator for us to create some history, but not 84 00:04:01,347 --> 00:04:03,147 Speaker 6: for everyone. But if we were to go down, you know, 85 00:04:03,147 --> 00:04:06,787 Speaker 6: it would be the likes of salaries being halved, do 86 00:04:06,787 --> 00:04:10,987 Speaker 6: you know, really hurt people financially and also you know, 87 00:04:11,387 --> 00:04:14,787 Speaker 6: players that were contracted for next season, so it just 88 00:04:14,787 --> 00:04:17,147 Speaker 6: becomes a bit messy, and you know, you don't want 89 00:04:17,147 --> 00:04:19,067 Speaker 6: that in your career, to be relegated. 90 00:04:19,947 --> 00:04:21,707 Speaker 4: So you're third season, then now that's the end of 91 00:04:21,707 --> 00:04:24,987 Speaker 4: your third season. Thirty one games, eighteen starts, thirty off 92 00:04:25,027 --> 00:04:27,227 Speaker 4: the bench. I think are you starting to feel at 93 00:04:27,307 --> 00:04:28,147 Speaker 4: home in siri Are? 94 00:04:28,187 --> 00:04:31,107 Speaker 6: Now, yeah, I'd say so if I was looking at 95 00:04:31,707 --> 00:04:35,307 Speaker 6: games that my parents have recorded on you know, the 96 00:04:35,347 --> 00:04:37,747 Speaker 6: my sky, and I was looking at the first few 97 00:04:37,787 --> 00:04:39,707 Speaker 6: games I had, And to be honest, I think I've 98 00:04:39,707 --> 00:04:43,147 Speaker 6: come a long way as a player. You know, I've 99 00:04:43,147 --> 00:04:46,747 Speaker 6: got used to the league, and I think I've come 100 00:04:46,827 --> 00:04:49,067 Speaker 6: leaps and bounds since my first games in Syria. 101 00:04:49,867 --> 00:04:52,507 Speaker 2: What are the big challenges of playing at that level 102 00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:52,907 Speaker 2: for you? 103 00:04:54,267 --> 00:04:56,507 Speaker 5: As you know, it's just the big challenge for me. 104 00:04:56,587 --> 00:05:00,147 Speaker 6: And you know, when I would make mistakes while playing, 105 00:05:00,227 --> 00:05:03,507 Speaker 6: you know, I'd be punished straight away and they'll obviously 106 00:05:03,587 --> 00:05:06,027 Speaker 6: lead to you know, losses for the team. And then 107 00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:08,787 Speaker 6: usually when I would make the mistake, I would play 108 00:05:08,827 --> 00:05:10,667 Speaker 6: the next game, but I would usually see the bench, 109 00:05:11,267 --> 00:05:13,867 Speaker 6: which is one thing that you know, it was a 110 00:05:13,867 --> 00:05:16,427 Speaker 6: big mental challenge for me, was you know, having to 111 00:05:16,627 --> 00:05:21,547 Speaker 6: bide my time and wait for the next opportunity. But 112 00:05:22,587 --> 00:05:25,387 Speaker 6: luckily when the next opportunity came, I performed really well 113 00:05:25,427 --> 00:05:26,267 Speaker 6: against against Rome. 114 00:05:26,307 --> 00:05:29,347 Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, that that last game, the game against 115 00:05:29,427 --> 00:05:32,187 Speaker 4: romer A lot of people observers I've done a bit 116 00:05:32,187 --> 00:05:33,947 Speaker 4: of reading, you know, people say, what one of your 117 00:05:33,987 --> 00:05:38,547 Speaker 4: best performance is in an Impoli shirt?

But as long as I'm still in Syria 142 00:06:46,107 --> 00:06:47,147 Speaker 6: and helping the club, that's all. 143 00:06:47,187 --> 00:06:47,627 Speaker 5: That matters. 144 00:06:48,027 --> 00:06:49,667 Speaker 4: So does it feel now as though the next goal 145 00:06:49,747 --> 00:06:52,147 Speaker 4: is to is to really lock in a starting spot 146 00:06:52,227 --> 00:06:54,227 Speaker 4: week on week instead of you know, bouncing between the 147 00:06:54,267 --> 00:06:55,787 Speaker 4: starting spot and being on the bench. 148 00:06:56,507 --> 00:06:58,467 Speaker 6: Yeah, you could say that, but at the same time, 149 00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:02,867 Speaker 6: I'm always wanting to improve myself and you know, it's 150 00:07:02,907 --> 00:07:03,547 Speaker 6: been three years. 151 00:07:03,667 --> 00:07:04,827 Speaker 5: We'll see what happens. 152 00:07:05,347 --> 00:07:08,587 Speaker 4: So you're home now, but very shortly you'll be off 153 00:07:08,627 --> 00:07:11,027 Speaker 4: to the Nation's Cup. Was there any temptation Lebby to 154 00:07:11,867 --> 00:07:14,307 Speaker 4: have a full off season, to have a full break 155 00:07:14,547 --> 00:07:16,267 Speaker 4: and not answer the call from Darren Basely? 156 00:07:16,907 --> 00:07:17,107 Speaker 2: Yeah? 157 00:07:17,827 --> 00:07:19,867 Speaker 5: I could have easily turned it down. 158 00:07:20,307 --> 00:07:24,827 Speaker 6: But you know, when Bays gave me the call, I thought, 159 00:07:24,867 --> 00:07:27,467 Speaker 6: you know, it was a time for me to come home, really. 160 00:07:27,387 --> 00:07:28,947 Speaker 5: Connect back with my roots. 161 00:07:29,827 --> 00:07:31,467 Speaker 6: And I knew that obviously the tournament was going to 162 00:07:31,507 --> 00:07:34,027 Speaker 6: be next to New Zealand, so I thought if I 163 00:07:34,027 --> 00:07:36,027 Speaker 6: could do two weeks with the family and for two 164 00:07:36,067 --> 00:07:37,787 Speaker 6: weeks with my national side, I thought. 165 00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:43,427 Speaker 4: Yeah, why not? And on towards another World Cup. Psychologously, 166 00:07:43,827 --> 00:07:46,307 Speaker 4: the chance to go to a World Cup is that something? 167 00:07:46,307 --> 00:07:48,227 Speaker 4: I mean obviously a club is your bread and butter, 168 00:07:48,507 --> 00:07:51,627 Speaker 4: but you still have strong international ambitions.
