Two great Aussie Coaches?

Gary Van Egmond is still the best, but Aurelio Vidmar is on the move...and quick.

Van Egmond's side were a goal down to Adelaide and having used their three subs and when Jason Hoffman got injured they were down to ten.

But Van Egmond did what few coaches ever do even when they have a full complement.

He pushed men forward going for the equaliser.

Ricky Herbert can't you get Fox in New Zealand:)

In Tarek Elrich he has a potent weapon. Elrich sped into the box, beat a couple and brought a wonderful save from Adelaide United's starman Eugen Galagovic. Great football.

And later Elrich produced some more magic.

Adelaide scored another late on, but Ante Covic was to blame not the coaches aggressive attacking policy.

Pity they couldn't show such energy and verve when they had eleven mind you.

As for Adelaide Vidmar is an astute coach, as his Asian record shows.

He still has a bit to go to get the same versatility from his team as Van Egmond but he's moving his pieces in games, very very effectively and no doubt Asia is teaching him a lot.

He's young, and even after losing Bruce Djite and Nathan Burns he has created a new team which can only get better.
