Squad

The manager makes an example of Sebastián Ciganda

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Riley Dalziell knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Auckland City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

David Yoo keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: David Yoo plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Squad

David Yoo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Yoo and Auckland City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Francis McCowatt gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Is this Zhou Tong’s last season?

“I will know when it is time. I am not there yet.” Zhou Tong is 38, with 10 appearances behind him, and Auckland City will have to plan for whichever answer comes.

Auckland City bring in an old head

Logan Collins is 36 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Squad

Deklan Sutton has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Deklan Sutton keeps the shirt for now, at Auckland City's convenience rather than his own.

Squad

The manager comes out for David Yoo

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. David Yoo has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.
