Kaz Patafta: A Victory view

Kaz Patata: Up for a big season?

Walking away from Olympic Park, Melbourne last night, a couple of friends rang me to tell me Sydney had won the pre-season game against Victory 1-0.



They were not happy with roly-poly Coata Rican Carlos Hernandez contribution.



"Can't pass, can't run," was how Sarah, a Victory member, described his performance.



What about Canberra's Patafta.



"Fantastic, beautiful feet."



Is he good?



"Oh my word is he, he is wonderful."



And the man from Victory added,



"He won't just be the best young player in the League this year. He'll be the best player in the league."



Now that is a big call. But class is easy to spot.



Here's hoping the Victory observers are right.



For the record Alex Brosque scored the winner in Sydney's 1-0 Victory.
