ANALYSIS: How Sydney FC's historic threepeat reflects the club's future vision
earlier on in the match all but guaranteed they'd lift it. They were simply waiting for the referee's whistle for confirmation. There was no need to do anything more than they had already done.
Their fourth goal was, in the end, unnecessary. So dominant had the Sky Blues been in their final regular-season game that there was no prospect of Newcastle finding a way back in. But he knew it wouldn't happen in the space of a single 14-round season. He knew it would take time and incremental change. From the very beginning, the former Socceroo centre-back's sight stretched beyond the horizon."When I initially came in, I did think the team was stale and old-ish. We got to the [2017/18] grand final, but we needed to change things," he told ABC last year.
Complemented by a sprinkling of international players, but never more than what was needed, Juric continuously struck the balance between fulfilling the potential of its future while also maintaining the competitiveness of its past. Captain Natalie Tobin, the second-oldest member at just 26, remembers Juric's arrival in 2017. As one of the younger and more peripheral players back then, she'd watched the club slowly stagnate results-wise and with no clear succession plan in place. But then it all started to change."Before that, the culture wasn't great. That's half the reason I took a year off: I wasn't enjoying it as much. So then Ante's come in and took charge in a way that you need in a coach.
