There will be a lot of butterflies and excitement ahead of Extra Bula FC’s first match of the OFC Pro League and majority of the teams have international experience but the players will be focusing on themselves and their game plan.
Captain Roy Krishna says expectations are for Bula FC to win, but they are fully aware that every team in the league is well prepared.
However, he says they cannot focus on the opposition more than themselves and have been drilled by coach Stéphane Auvray on how he wants them to play.
The striker says that for the opening match, the team will also make sure to enjoy the occasion, as this is a professional league and a moment they must embrace.
Krishna is also calling on Fijian supporters to turn up at Eden Park and cheer on the side, urging them to act as the team’s 12th man.
