    Wellington Phoenix men's coach Giancarlo Italiano is avoiding any discussions about the past, with the Melbourne Victory back in the capital for this afternoon's A-League contest

    Wellington Phoenix men's coach Giancarlo Italiano is avoiding any discussions about the past, with the Melbourne Victory back in the capital for this afternoon's A-League contest


    It's the first time the two sides have met in Wellington since last year's semifinal second leg, where the Victory snatched a 2-1 win in extra time.

    Italiano was asked if he's thought about that painful defeat.



    Kickoff is at 5pm.
