Wellington Phoenix VS Auckland FC: Who wins the 6th KIWI Derby? | EP42 - The Unused Subs

from The Unused Subs · host Goran Paladin

For the final time this A-League regular season, our two kiwi teams square off on Saturday afternoon in the nation's capital. WHO WILL WIN? Can the Wellington Phoenix finally get on the board? Or will Auckland FC extend their streak to SIX?! The boys make an argument for the Nix, an argument for Auckland, and reveal which player will hold the key to unlocking victory.Then we are joined by our guest this week, Emiliano Tade. He gives his take on the derby, and speaks about how much he's enjoying his role within Auckland FC's Pro League team as a player/assistant coach.Emiliano reveals how close he came to playing A-League football, and what would have happened if he never boarded the plane from Argentina to New Zealand more than 15 years ago... in an alternate reality, he probably stays in South America and becomes a lawyer!We're happy to say he made the right choice, as he became a big part of Auckland City's success during their FIFA Club World Cup run. The Subs bench goes back to that one time in 2014 when they placed 3rd in Morocco, Ivan Vicelich won a bronze ball, and Emiliano missed a sitter against San Lorenzo... Argentina's South American champions, and a team he watched very closely growing up!FOLLOW THE UNUSED SUBS!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theunusedsubs/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theunusedsubsKiwis talk football too!#football #soccer #newzealand
