Branko Jelic To Debut Against Fulham
By: Ben | July 14th, 2009
Perth Glory’s new Serbian signing Branko Jelic is expected to make his debut for the club in Wednesday’s friendly against EPL side Fulham.
Jelic is likely to make a 30-minute cameo appearance off the subs bench having only recently arrived in the country after playing with German Bundesliga club Energie Cottbus last season.
Unfortunately, Socceroo Chris Coyne (who signed with the club last week) won’t be making his debut.
Nevertheless boss Dave Mitchell says Wednesday’s game is a huge opportunity for the team to work on developing it’s game, gelling together, becoming cohesive and all that.
“The result doesn’t matter, it’s a pre-season friendly,” Mitchell said on Tuesday.
“It’s more about us getting our shape and being organised and repelling Fulham, and having a go at the correct time.
“Enjoy the game and enjoy the experience. The shape is what we are looking at and enjoying the game, because it’s not often you play quality opposition and by watching them you’ll learn.
“They’re a good side and we like to learn off these teams. We learnt things off Wolves and what they do and we’ll pick up more things off Fulham.
“Fulham are a really good side and they had a good result (winning 3-0) against Melbourne. They’re preparing seriously for the game and it will be a good test for us.
“But you want to do well. The performance is what I’m after, not the result.”
