Young midfielder Joe Caletti says the Roar squad have the character and belief to go all the way in the A-League finals series.
With three matches remaining in the regular season, Roar sit in fourth spot and have all but guaranteed their chance for a crack at the A-League’s most coveted trophy.
Roar saw off second-placed Melbourne Victory on Saturday night, displaying their credentials as A-League Championship contenders.
“We’re coming to the end of the season so it was a really important three points that allows us to take confidence into the next game,” Caletti said.
“Everyone wants to play finals and go all the way and we have the belief in this squad that we can do that.”
Roar play two of their final regular season matches at Suncorp Stadium against Central Coast Mariners (April 2) and Wellington Phoenix (April 16) either side of a trip west to face Perth Glory on April 8.
And with a top-four berth bringing with it a home final, finishing the season with momentum could go a long way to determining Roar’s post-season success.
“Everyone knows how good we are at home so it’s important that we look to secure a home final,” Caletti said.
Caletti who was selected in his first A-League Team of the Week after a stellar 90-minute performance in midfield against the Victory.
The 18-year-old and former Joeys captain was pleased with his selection and said the comradery within the Roar squad had assisted in his transition into first-team football.
“I was really happy with [the selection] and hopefully I can make a few more,” Caletti said.
“The experienced and successful group of players we have makes my job easier and they help me out on the pitch which is important to me as a young player.”
