Brisbane Roar missed its chance to take lead
after taking a draw 1-1 against Adelaide United last Sunday at Suncorp Stadium.
Compare against its last victory 7-1 when the
two teams met, Brisbane fans had a good (but sad) reason to whine about the
wind of change, according to The Australian (March 12, 2012).
Considering together with its most recent
failure against Tokyo FC at home stadium, Roar seemed to slip further away from
its dream on the A-League.
Right from the beginning Adelaide team brought
a surprise when Ramsay, after what seemed like a beautiful cooperation with
Dario Vidosic, drew the first goal for the visitor.
Shortly afterward, the Brisbane team received
another bad news when its midfielder Luke Brattan fell for a serious knee
injury after a big clash with one player from Adelaide.
Lack of determination and momentum make the
whole team’s search for way toward Adelaide’s goal much more difficult despite
the visitor’s down performance.
Fans became more and more impatient, especially
after Thomas Broich had missed several good opportunities to balance.
In the 70th minute, Besart Berisha cancelled
out the uneven scenario thanks to the construction of Kofi Danning.
Despite of missing a chance to reclaim the
lead, coach Ange Postecoglou did not feel the pressure when he tried to
disentangle for his students “You can easily get frustrated but I thought the
boys waited for their opportunities” (The Roar, 2012). Sorry Ange, you are not
waiting for an opportunity while dealing with a lower-hand opponent. How many
more opportunities are we going to miss?
