Kosta Barbarouses doesn't mind competing with younger players for a place in the All Whites

The veteran forward understands that time is not on his side as he seeks to solidify his position in the national team for the upcoming World Cup cycle.

This mirrors the situation he has with his club, the Wellington Phoenix, which boasts a wealth of young talent.

With the upcoming international windows on the horizon, Barbarouses knows he most continue his goal-scoring form at club level to strengthen his case for national team selection.



Barbarouses will look to continue his good run of performances against Melbourne City tonight - kickoff's at 9pm.
