We don't care what happens outside the club." As long as we know what we're doing in the group, and the group is strong, that's all that counts. This week's no different to last week's game, or the week before."Īs for the discussion around whether the City Football Group was doing enough for the A-League, and whether premier midfielder Mooy would be hanging around to see out the season, or depart in January's transfer window, Kisnorbo could barely have played a straighter bat.
At the end of the day you've got to go out there and win.
Both teams want to win and hopefully we can do that this Saturday. "At the end of the day, it's two teams on a football pitch. Yet Kisnorbo said the ground was a non-issue. City's sole win against Kevin Muscat's men last season came in the corresponding pre-Christmas fixture at AAMI Park. We're a group of players that are very united, that work hard for each other on and off the pitch. But our team at the moment are doing pretty well. Although he was cautious when discussing the club's progress. Superficially, there shouldn't be too much to worry about at the moment, and Kisnorbo agreed that things were going well. But for us we want to worry about ourselves." We'll pay respects to them, they're a good team, they won the FFA Cup, they won the championship last year.
It doesn't matter if it's a derby or not, at the end of the day it's 90 minutes of two teams. But we have a big game this week, and we're just concentrating on focusing on every training," Kisnorbo said. "We've been working pretty hard over the last three, four weeks. But the veteran defender didn't seem keen to stress the point. Yes, Kisnorbo noted that the club had some sort of momentum. His press conference prior to training in Bundoora on Wednesday gave the distinct impression that John van 't Schip is attempting apply the hose to any sense that the younger brother of the two Melbourne teams has achieved anything yet, notwithstanding a superb run of form over the last three weeks. Kisnorbo, 34, could barely have done more to try and play down the hype surrounding City ahead of the clash with the reigning champions. According to City captain Patrick Kisnorbo, Saturday night's encounter with Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park is "just another game". Patrick Kisnorbo fronts the media on Wednesday.
