The captain of Sydney FC, Rhyan Grant, has a message for football fans who want their sporting solution in the city of Harbor since there are no NRL and AFL lights in Sydney this weekend-give the A-League at the Allianz stadium a crack.
With Perth organizing a double head of LNR and the AFL RCA tour in Adelaïde, a healthy crowd is based to watch the Sky Blues Tackle the leaders of the Auckland FC scale from 5 p.m.
The addition of spices to the competition is the return of Steve Corica, with the legend of the club now coach of the Black Knights, who have gone out of expectations in their inaugural season.
Grant predicts an entertainment competition – and three stressed points are imperative for hosts.
“Give him a crack, anything can happen,” said the veteran defender at Daily Mail Australia when he informed that rival football codes are not in action in Sydney.
“There are often late goals, and our fans (cove) always provide a good atmosphere.

“ I think Auckland will be difficult to beat, they are a well -organized team and undoubtedly Bimby (Corica) I will be eager to do well against us.
The Sydney FC is backing from a loss in mid-week 2-0 to Singapore against the Lion City Saiors FC, but Grant said that his team argued while they are also fighting to stay in the top six of the A-Ligue with a final that is looming.
The semi-final, at the second stage of the ACL 2 competition, is on the ground at home on April 16.
“Each match for us now is to be done or to die, we need three points on each occasion,” said the skipper.
“Most of the season, we had two games per week, so we are used to it.
“This is the standard in Europe and as footballers, you want to play as often as possible ….. We have the attackers to win both games, we are quietly confident.”
And at 34, many players instead of Grant are considering retirement.
But after having made his debut in A-League in 2008 and signed more than 300 career appearances for Sydney FC, the former Socceroos star does not intend to move away.
“I have a contract for next season, and I know that I will be 35 years old, but the body feels good,” he said.
“I can’t wait to continue, beyond that who knows … I would like to apply my knowledge over the years, so coaching could be an option.”
Tickets for the two Sydney FC games at the Allianz stadium are available via ticketk.
The club’s women’s team is also in action in the same place on Saturday, welcoming Perth Glory in an increase in curtains from 2:15 p.m.
Elsewhere this weekend, the Western Sydney Wanderers of Sydney FC fight with Western United at the Commbank stadium in Parramatta from 5 p.m. Sunday.
